Botetourt County

What Botetourt County does

Botetourt County is a county government entity and political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Virginia, established in 1770 and headquartered in Daleville, Virginia. It delivers public services to county residents, businesses, developers and contractors, and corporate investors through multiple departments spanning Community Development (building permits, planning, zoning, subdivision review, floodplain management, code enforcement), Fire & EMS, Libraries, Parks & Recreation, Social Services, Solid Waste & Recycling, and Economic Development. It serves as the sole permitting and zoning authority within its jurisdiction, and provides direct services through department offices, four library branches, the Administration Center at Greenfield, and contracted waste and recycling partners.

The county operates a CivicPlus-powered government website as its primary digital service delivery platform, augmented by an ArcGIS Hub-based GIS Open Data Portal for property, zoning, and service-area mapping; an online permitting and payment system; the 'What's Going On in BOCO' interactive development project tracker; the 'Let's Go BOCO' outdoor recreation map; and citizen request and FOIA intake forms. Marketing and citizen engagement extend across Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, email notifications, a 'County Conversations' podcast, community events, and earned media through Virginia state news outlets.

Botetourt County is primarily tax-funded with an FY26 budget of $98.8 million (a $6.5 million year-over-year increase) and no tax rate increase for citizens or businesses; 64% of the budget is allocated to public safety and education combined, with $32.4 million directed to Botetourt County Public Schools. Additional revenue sources include federal and state grants (notably a $12.8 million BEAD broadband award, FEMA funding, and a $270 million VDOT I-81 S-Curve infrastructure investment), fees for development and permitting services, intergovernmental transfers, and partnership-driven economic development inflows tied to employers such as Google (data center campus at Greenfield) and Munters Global ($29.95 million Phase II HVAC manufacturing expansion, 270 jobs).
