King & Queen County Code of Ordinances

One of the hallmarks of government in King and Queen County is its effort to conserve the county’s agricultural character and natural environment.

It is the responsibility of this department to administer and coordinate the land use policies of the county as stated in its Comprehensive Plan and implemented in its Zoning and Subdivision Ordinances. A key tool in the efforts of the planning department is the Geographic Information System (GIS) whereby all of the physical attributes of the county are assembled to help understand the interrelationship of these attributes.
