In one of its largest and most ambitious initiatives in over 30 years, Chesterfield planners and leaders are seeking input from residents and businesses to help update the county’s zoning ordinance.

Personal property and first-half real estate taxes are due Monday, June 7.
Did you know? There are several ways to pay your personal property and first-half real estate taxes in Chesterfield County.

The new outside payment kiosk is available 24 hour a day, seven days a week, and accepts cash, credit/debit card and check payments.

This is Coco!
She's the sweetest girl and would love to meet you! When you first look at her, you'll notice that her eyes look a bit red; it isn't anything of any major concern. Her 3rd eyelids are just non-pigmented and she is on drops to hopefully help with the redness.
Coco has an upbeat personality and would appreciate a yard where she could run around and enjoy the sunshine. When out in the yard, she will need to be watched closely as she has been known to escape from time to time.
|
|
She knows how to sit on command, but would love it if you spent time with her teaching her more fun tricks. Her previous owner said she did well with kitties, but she can be selective when choosing dog friends. For that reason, if you are interested in adopting her, you will need to bring your dog with you to meet her. You may have seen Ben's post- that is her brother. They love to play together and while they would enjoy going to a home with each other, it is not required. Coco is a 4 year old Pitbull mix and she weighs 55 pounds.
If you are interested in meeting this pet, please contact Chesterfield County Animal Services at 804-748-1683, option "0," to schedule an appointment. Office staff are available by phone 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday, and 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays. The shelter is located at 9300 Public Works Road, Chesterfield, VA 23832.
