Geospatial data about Albemarle County, Virginia Parcels. Export to CAD, GIS, PDF, CSV and access via API.

This layer represents the most recent parcel boundaries as recorded through deeds for the County. The parcels layer can be related to the GPIN_TABLE through a one-to-many relationship as some parcel polygons can have multiple parcels associated with them. For your convenience, a separate layer called ParcelsStacked flattens out this relationship, so that for a polygon that goes to four parcel records, for example, the ParcelsStacked layer will have four polygons. See the metadata for more information.

The 100-year flood (1% chance of flooding every year) limits depicted on the County maps are based on the countywide Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Insurance Study and Maps that became effective May 16, 2016.Additional information on how to view and/or obtain Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMs), or Q3 data for Albemarle County, please consult the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) website.Please note that FEMA may issue Letters of Map Amendment (LOMA) or Letters of Map Revision (LOMR) to remove structures and/or parcels from the flood plain without revising the effective Flood Insurance Rate Maps. The County is not authorized to change the effective flood maps. Therefore the flood zone status of a parcel in the County may change, but the maps from FEMA may still depict previous conditions. Questions about any LOMAs or LOMRs that may have been issued for County parcels can be directed to staff at Albemarle County's Department of Community Development.

This feature layer describes property parcels reported to be associated with six utility-scale solar projects in Buckingham, Albemarle and Cumberland counties, VA.Purpose:This layer displays the boundaries of property parcels associated with these solar projects, and additional information, such as project name, developer, total acreage, rated power (megawatts - MW) and potentially affected waterways.Source & Date:Buckingham County parcels were extracted from a September 2020 parcel layer of Buckingham County obtained during previous work for Friends of Buckingham. Parcel data for individual projects in Buckingham County were obtained from the following Public Hearing notices concerning Special Use Permit applications submitted to the Buckingham County Board of Supervisors.Riverstone Solar – February 28, 2022Pineside Solar – June 27, 2022Blue Rock Solar – November 14. 2023Mountain Pine Arvonia – January 8, 2024Parcel data for Cumberland County was extracted from the Virginia Geographic Information Network's (VGIN) Parcels REST Service, as they are not available for download from the county. Parcel numbers and owners for the Hecate Energy project was taken from a table of landowners, included with the developer's Conditional Use Permit application. This information was used to find parcel acreage on the Cumberland County online GIS, which was manually entered into this layer's data table. This all took place on Feb. 27th, 2024.Parcel data for the Woodridge Solar project in Albemarle County was extracted from the Current Parcels data layer available on the county's GIS data website, downloaded Feb. 27, 2024.Processing:Parcels were identified by the Parcel_ID numbers provided in Special Use Permit applications submitted to the Buckingham County Board of Supervisors. Boundaries were checked against those displayed in Buckingham County's online parcel viewer. Parcel 38-74 did not appear in the 2020 layer. Querying the current version (1/25/2024) of Buckingham County's online parcel viewer does not return this parcel number. For now, we are assuming the parcel was recently split from another, larger parcel. Once Buckingham County has updated its parcel viewer, we will update this layer as necessary.Cumberland County's parcels, unavailablr for download, were extracted from the VGIN statewide parcels layer (above). Owner name and acreage were manually populated, based on Parcel ID (included in the Conditional Use Permit application), using the CUP and Cumberland's online GIS.Albemarle County parcels were extracted by Parcel ID.The three parcel layers were merged in ArcMap. Albemarle parcel data was copied to corresponding fields using the Field Calculator. Duplicate and unnecessary fields were deleted using Delete Field.Symbology:Parcels are shown as semi-transparent, purple polygons.

"The digital terrain model was initially generated by Center for Geospatial Technology (CGIT) for the Virginia Geographic Information Network (VGIN) using the mass points and break lines from the 2002 VBMP aerial photography. This effort represents the most accurate digital terrain model (DTM) ever generated statewide for Virginia. The Triangulated Irregular Network (TIN) provides seamless coverage for each county in Virginia. TINs are used to ascertain landscape characteristics and to serve as a topographic model to support surface drapes (for imagery, etc.). Ancillary data sets are often generated from TINs. These data sets may include: slope, aspect, contours, digital elevation models, etc. Note that the DTM is appropriate for general planning purposes only.
