Payment of TaxesUpon moving to Chesterfi eld County or purchas-

ing/trading vehicles, contact the Offi ce of the Commis-sioner of the Revenue at (804) 748-1281. Do this within 90 days of your relocation. Tell the offi ce that you are

a new resident to the county. They will instruct you on proper tax procedures that apply to you as a new resident.

The county offers numerous ways to pay your taxes, including online, over the phone, through an Auto-mated Payment Service from your bank account, with a credit card, check, or money order. For more informa-tion concerning payment, call (804) 748-1201.

Personal Property TaxesThis tax is assessed on the value of motor vehicles,

trailers and boats that are stored, garaged, or parked in Chesterfi eld County.

The Commissioner uses the lowest value in recog-nized pricing guides, such as the National Automobile Dealer’s Association Used Car Guide (NADA), as the basis for vehicle assessments.

The vehicle tax rate is $3.60 per $100 of assessed value. Vehicles are assessed for the number of months they are sited in Chesterfi eld County.

All vehicles must fi rst be registered with the De-partment of Motor Vehicles. Vehicle owners, lessees, and purchasers of new vehicles must register their vehicles with the Commissioner of Revenue within 90 days of moving to Chesterfi eld County or the purchase of vehicle. All vehicles are taxable based on ownership.

Personal Property taxes on motor vehicles are prorated on a monthly basis, while mobile homes are not. For questions regarding mobile homes, please contact the Commissioner of the Revenue at 748-1281.

Personal Property tax returns must be fi led on or before March 1 of each year. Taxes are to be paid by the due date of June 5 to avoid penalties and interest. Failure to register your vehicle(s) with Chesterfi eld County Commissioner of the Revenue will result in a late fi ling penalty of 10 percent and interest.

Real Estate TaxesThe Department of Real Estate Assessments is re-

sponsible for maintaining accurate and up-to-date re-cords on each locally assessed property in Chesterfi eld County. Written documents, deeds, wills, etc., relating to the ownership of real estate fi led in the Clerk’s Of-fi ce of the Circuit Court of Chesterfi eld County are re-ceived and processed daily by the Assessor’s Offi ce.

Assessed values are based on market activity with-in a given area or neighborhood. Market activity (sales data) is used to establish fair market value. The fair market value of a property is defi ned as the price most people would pay for the property on the open market.

Real Estate Taxes are due and payable twice a year, June 5 and December 5. Questions or concerns should be directed to the Treasurer or Commissioner of the Revenue.

Business Personal Property Most persons or corporations owning tangible

personal property (other than motor vehicles, trailers, boats, or aircraft) that is used or available for use in a trade or business (including processing businesses, but not manufacturing ) and located within Chesterfi eld County as of January 1 must fi le the Return of Busi-ness Tangible Personal Property (“BPP”) by March 1 to avoid a 10 percent late fi ling penalty. Business personal property tax, unlike that of vehicles, is not pro-rated.

The property is assessed at various percentages of the total capitalized cost, depending on the year of acquisition. All such property must be reported annu-ally, including that which has been expensed or fully depreciated, and items that once were (or still are) used for personal use while still available to business use.

Unlike the business license process, payments for the business tangible personal property tax do not need to accompany the return. Tax bills are mailed by the Treasurer’s Offi ce after the return is processed by the Commissioner’s Offi ce, and are due to be paid on or before June 5 to avoid 10 percent late payment penalties and interest (10 percent per year, accrued monthly).

are subject to the Chesterfi eld County business license tax. This is a tax on the privilege of engaging in a licens-able business activity within the County, and it is calcu-lated upon gross receipts (or gross purchases in the case of wholesale merchants).

New businesses must obtain all required licenses prior to beginning business in the County, and a late payment penalty of up to 10 percent of the tax due will be imposed along with interest if the licenses are not ob-tained within 30 days of the date the business opened. For existing businesses, renewal applications and appro-priate tax payments must be fi led in the Commissioner’s Offi ce or postmarked on or before March 1 each year to avoid the late payment penalty and interest.

In addition to completing the Application for Ches-terfi eld County Business License, new businesses should complete the Business License Classifi cation Question-naire. This form provides information that is necessary in order to classify your business activities correctly.

For assistance with the business license application or the licensing process, please contact the Commis-sioner’s Offi ce at (804) 748-1281, or visit the offi ce during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.)

COURTS

Chesterfi eld County CourthouseCircuit/General District Courthouse9500 Courthouse RoadChesterfi eld, VA 23832(804) 748-1231

Virginia’s court system includes the District Courts, consisting of the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Dis-trict (J & DR) Court and the General District Court. The J & DR District Court handles cases involving delinquents, juveniles accused of traffi c violations, child abuse, spousal abuse, support and custody mat-ters involving minors, and children in need of services. The General District Court hears civil cases involving amounts up to $15,000, criminal cases involving mis-demeanors, and traffi c violations. Clerks of the J & DR and General District Courts are appointed by the Chief Judges of those respective courts.

Final decisions of the District Courts may be ap-pealed to the Circuit Court. Circuit Court appeals cases are heard de novo. Unlike Circuit Courts, District Courts do not conduct jury trials nor do they have ju-risdiction to adjudicate felony cases. Instead the District Courts are limited to holding preliminary hearings for felony cases to merely establish probable cause.

For cases involving monetary disputes between $4,500 and $15,000, General District Courts and Circuit Courts have concurrent jurisdiction. For civil cases


exceeding $15,000, the Circuit Court has exclusive original jurisdiction. In addition, Circuit Courts have jurisdiction to preside over all types of criminal cases, including felonies and misdemeanor charges certifi ed by a grand jury. Circuit Courts also preside over chan-cery suits (or those claims seeking judgments for some-thing other than money).

Circuit Court decisions may be appealed to the Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court of Virginia, depending on the type of case involved. Death penalty, lawyer disbarment, and most civil cases are appealed to the Supreme Court.

The Chesterfi eld General District Court contains three divisions, the Civil, Criminal, and Traffi c Courts.

CORRECTIONS

Chesterfi eld County Jail6900 Mimms Drive Chesterfi eld, VA 23832(804) 748-1476

On May 12, 1749 a “Commission of the Peace” was issued by Governor William Gooch that created a judi-cial body to administer general laws. Governor Gooch appointed John Archer the fi rst Sheriff of Chesterfi eld County. Griof Randolph was named his assistant. Sher-iff Archer and Undersheriff Randolph were the fi rst law enforcement offi cers for the County of Chesterfi eld. These gentlemen were also tasked with the security of the Judges, the courthouse and the jail.

The earliest court records show the fi rst court ses-sion taking place on July 7, 1749. In this session the court created the fi rst acts of authorization for the building of a courthouse, prison and pillory. Chester-fi eld’s fi rst jail had a rated capacity of three. The fi rst Courthouse in Chesterfi eld was built in 1750.

Jump to the early 1990’s, where the new, modern jail experienced enormous growth in the inmate popula-tion. The jail’s rated capacity at this time was approxi-mately 150 prisoners. It was not unusual to fi nd the count exceeding 400 on a regular basis.

The county agreed to construct a facility that would ease the crowding problem. Plans were already set in motion to have Chesterfi eld participate in a Regional Jail that would be built at a later date. Construction on a Jail Annex began, with completion slated for the spring of 1994. The annex was built to house 115 pris-oners, relieving the crowded conditions in the jail.

The crowded conditions were relieved further with the opening of Riverside Regional Jail. This modern facility took many of the jail’s sentenced offenders awaiting transportation to the state system.

Construction of a new, modern facility was com-pleted in May of 2006.

The county jail offers a Workforce program, which allows sentenced inmates to shorten the amount of

time they spend in the jail by working on county or state property. There are also home incarceration and work release programs.

Juvenile Detention CenterThe Murphey Building9600 Krause RoadChesterfi eld, VA 23832-6717(804) 748-1460

The Chesterfi eld Juvenile Detention Home was es-tablished in 1973 to better provide for the public-safety needs of Chesterfi eld County residents. Its purpose is to ensure safe, secure custody for juveniles who are charged with or who have been found guilty of crimi-nal offenses and are awaiting further court action.

In 2003, the detention home’s capacity grew from 33 beds to 90. On March 6, 2003, a dedication ceremony was held to name the new facility after the late Douglas Woodfi n Murphey, a judge of the 12th Judicial Circuit Court of Virginia. Murphey was selected for the honor because of his leadership and advocacy of the original detention home.


ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Chesterfi eld Economic Development Offi ce9401 Courthouse Road, Suite BChesterfi eld, VA 23832(804) 318-8550info@chesterfi eldbusiness.com

Employment OverviewChesterfi eld’s labor pool is large enough to support

and diverse enough to supply employees for almost any kind of new business. Richmond-Petersburg metro area’s civilian non-agricultural labor force consisted of 650,230 people in April 2008. Chesterfi eld’s portion of the labor pool totaled 169,560 in that same month.

The workforce number is projected to continue to climb through the decade as in-migration augments the natural population increase. A high quality of life makes it easy to recruit key executives and managers from out-side the area.

Chesterfi eld’s unemployment rate remains at a low 3.0 percent, with 164,400 persons employed in April 2008.

The majority of those workers still commute out of the county, but 39,740 workers commuted into Chester-fi eld County in 2000.

High schools offer an a la carte lunch program. All items are sold individually with the average price for a complete lunch about $2.50. Elementary and middle school lunches cost $1.75, and adult lunches are sold a la carte. If a student does not desire a complete lunch, milk and other food items may be bought individually. Milk is 60 cents and ice cream is 60 cents. Parents or students may pay in advance for meals, and students will be credited for lunch costs through a roster sys-tem.

To apply for free or reduced-price meals in elemen-tary or middle school, complete an application. Only one application is needed per family, and forms are available in each school’s offi ce, on the school division’s web site (chesterfi eld.k12.va.us) or by calling 743-3717.

Health ServicesStudents may not bring any medication to school,

including non-prescription medication. If it is neces-sary for a student to receive medication during school hours, parents should contact the school for more information on the medication policy. Parents of a stu-

dent with critical health concerns may want to provide additional medication to their child’s school in case of an emergency.

Limited clinic facilities operate at all county schools to handle illnesses that occur during the school day. Parents or guardians are contacted when a student becomes ill at school and are asked to make arrange-ments to pick up the student as soon as possible. Nurs-es are not available in schools on a daily basis.

In addition, students enrolling in a Virginia public school for the fi rst time must provide a certifi ed birth certifi cate, a physical examination for all elementary students (within the past 12 months for kindergarten students) and updated medical records listing state re-quired immunizations by day, month and year of vac-cination. Documentation of vaccinations for measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (DTP) and polio is required for all students. Hepatitis B vaccine is required for students born on or after Jan. 1, 1994, and students entering sixth grade after July 1, 2001. Varicella (chicken pox) vaccine is required for all children born on or after Jan. 1, 1997, who have not already had the disease. A booster of tetanus, diph-theria, acellular pertussis (Tdap) is required for all students entering sixth grade if at least fi ve years have passed since their last tetanus-containing vaccine.


SNOW CLOSINGS

Snow ClosingsIf it becomes necessary to close schools because

of inclement weather or for any other reason, such as power failure, announcements will be transmitted to parents via phone and e-mail through ParentLink. Im-portant information also will be shared via the school division’s web site, CCPS TV on Comcast channel 96 and the local media. Parents should make emergency closing child care arrangements at the beginning of the school year so that students know what to do and where to go if early dismissals become necessary.

Channel 12 Hotline (804) 323-1212

Creating a PlanChesterfi eld County stresses the importance of

developing a plan in case of a school closing during the day. This is especially important for working parents with younger children as to avoid confu-sion or panic. Parents need to be clear in instructing their child what to do, such as staying with a neigh-bor or relative.

Agriculture4-H Program

4-H is the comprehensive youth development pro-gram of Virginia Cooperative Extension. Youth be-tween the ages of 5 and 18 engage in hands-on learning experiences under the guidance of adult or teen 4-H volunteers trained by 4-H agents. 4-H programs use experiential learning opportunities to teach the latest research-based subject matter knowledge and to foster skill development in effective citizenship, leadership, and other life skills.

Youth also participate in educational experiences at six 4-H educational centers. 4-H has both a school-based and a community-based delivery model. The specifi c learning experiences a 4-H member participates in are shaped locally and supported at the state and national levels. 4-H members learn how to make deci-sions, manage resources, work with others, and utilize effective communication skills. The mission of 4-H is to develop youth and adults working with those youth to realize their full potential -- becoming effective, contributing citizens through participation in research-based, informal, hands-on educational experiences.

The James River Soil & Water Conservation District is made up of Chesterfi eld County and Prince George County. Oversight is provided by a Board of Directors who voluntarily serve three-year terms. Two elected directors from each County, along with two appointed directors, oversee the programs administered by staff.

Partial funding from state and local governments is supplemented by fund-raising activities such as: tree seedling sales and rental of a no-till planter.

As a proud affi liate of Habitat for Humanity International, Richmond Metropolitan Habitat for Humanity has been putting faith into action in our community since 1986, partnering with hard-working families to build more than 280 homes in the City of Richmond and the counties of Henrico, Chesterfi eld, Charles City and New Kent.

More than 31,000 volunteers have built with Richmond Habitat since our founding in 1986; that’s over 62,000 hands that have touched the lives of Richmond families.

Volunteers range from students to retirees, from skilled trades people to weekend do-it-yourselfers, from church, synagogue and mosque members to colleagues and co-workers from large and small businesses.

The common thread is the desire to take part in something big and see the tangible results – to help build decent, modest homes for low income, work-ing families.
