Richmond is an independent city and is not part of Henrico or Chesterfield County. That distinction matters because each has its own building department, portal, fee schedule and local land-use requirements even though the technical building code is statewide.
Richmond Building Permit Guide →Confirm the parcel jurisdiction before filing. A Richmond mailing address can still fall outside the independent City of Richmond.
Virginia uses the Uniform Statewide Building Code across the Commonwealth, while local counties, towns and independent cities administer permits, zoning, fees and inspections for their own jurisdictions. Alliance starts with the project address, confirms the correct Virginia authority, then builds the filing around that jurisdiction’s current intake requirements.
We confirm the reviewing authority and submission path before the package is filed, helping avoid jurisdiction and intake mistakes.

Virginia has one building code, the Uniform Statewide Building Code, and no county, city or town may adopt its own. Enforcement is local: county, independent-city and some town building departments review plans, issue permits and inspect, while localities keep their own zoning and land-use approvals.
No. Independent cities are in no county and issue their own permits, and a town may enforce the code itself instead of the county. Confirm the county, independent city or town from the parcel record before filing.
