Citizen Recreation Survey

As the County looks at different options to improve quality of life for King William citizens, we need to know what's important to you.

Take the Citizen Recreation Survey and share your thoughts on existing and potential recreational opportunities in King William County.

This information will be used to help the County form a plan to improve services to County citizens. Please share this link with your friends and neighbors so we can hear from as many of you as possible!

Thank you!
Get involved with
County Government!
The best way to stay informed is to get involved! There are several County boards and commissions that currently need additional citizen representation. You can also get first-hand information on what's being discussed by attending public meetings.

Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA) - advises on appeals for zoning ordinance variances
Social Services Advisory Board - offers input on all matters pertaining to King William’s public assistance and social services needs
VA250 Planning Committee - help celebrate the 250th anniversary of Virginia’s participation in American independence

Public Meetings
The Board of Supervisors meets twice per month. You can attend in person or watch the meeting using Zoom. Links to register for all public meetings offered electronically are on the Calendar page of the County website. You can also read approved minutes from past meetings or watch video recordings on the Agenda Center page. Don't take someone else's word for what's going on - hear it yourself!

Download detailed Zoom instructions and learn about Public Comment periods and Public Hearings on the County website.
Pets of the Week
"Memphis" is a strapping male Pit Bull who is around 2 years old and weighs 65lbs. He came to the Shelter after he was left at an abandoned home. He does pretty good on a leash and is housebroken. He does not do great with other male dogs or small dogs but would likely do fine with an active female his size. He does not do well with kitties! Memphis will need an experienced "Bully Breed" owner and a fenced in yard for exercise. He is heartworm negative and started on monthly prevention.
  
"Strawberry" is a gorgeous female Boxer/Pit Bull mix that's about 1 year old and weighs 65lbs. She was surrendered to the Shelter because her owner lost their home. She is a very nice girl that loves ear scratches. She is heartworm negative and started on prevention.
