[edit] The good

  • County board members' and county administrative officials contact information is posted.[1] Email addresses for administrative officials are listed on the individual departments' web pages.[2]
  • County taxes can be paid online.[3]

[edit] The bad

  • Term dates of county board members are not listed.
  • No county board meeting agendas or minutes are posted.
  • No budgets or audited financial statements were found.
  • Building and zoning permit forms are available, but no general information concerning building requirements or zoning ordinances.[4]
  • No current bid requests or recently awarded contracts to outside vendors are posted.
  • There is no information about how to make FOIA requests and no record of the county's FOIA compliance.
  • There is no information regarding any relations with lobbying associations the county might have. But the Virginia Association of Counties[5] lists the county as a member.
