The Charlottesville City Council adopted a revised critical slopes ordinance on January 17, 2012. The updated ordinance defines critical slopes as any slope that has a grade of 25% or higher, is within 200 feet of a waterway, has a horizontal run of 20 feet or more, and has an area of 6,000 square feet or more. It grants the council the ability to waive the critical slopes ordinance's prohibition on development if the benefits to the public of disturbing the slope outweigh the benefits of an undisturbed slope or if the ordinance would unreasonably restrict the use of a property. The council may also impose conditions on the granting of a waiver.

In January of 2018, Charlottesville Parks & Recreation initiated a project with the goal of creating an inventory of all the trees that exist on public property within the City of Charlottesville.

This 2008 survey recorded the coordinates and several other attributes of Individual trees located in parks, schools, and right-of-ways.

Any mistakes or missing information can be directed to the Assessor's Office to have them corrected.
