About the Community Development Department
The Community Development Department is located in the County Office Building, 34 Rails End Lane in Rustburg, Virginia. We can be found behind the Historical Courthouse across from the Recreation Building.
State and Local Codes require permits for almost all construction, alteration and demolition activities, as well as the occupancy of existing buildings for new commercial or industrial uses and special events. Regulations regarding land use changes, land disturbing activities, street naming and numbering and the subdivision of land are all administered by department staff.
Comprehensive Plan Update
A revised draft of the Campbell County Comprehensive Plan 2009-2024 is now available. (

Biosolids Samping & Testing
Samples of biosolids material may be obtained by the County before, during, or after the process of applying the material on an approved site. Samples of soil, surface water and well water may be tested at the specific written request of a property owner immediately adjacent to a site permitted to receive biosolids. Requested sampling and testing will be conducted to the extent it is generally reimbursable by the Commonwealth of Virginia. Any sampling or testing beyond those parameters would be done only at the specific direction of the County Administrator on a case-by-case basis.
Samples will be tested by an approved, independent laboratory. Tests will be conducted according to Virginia Department of Health standards. Campbell County will pay the costs associated with sampling and testing and will seek reimbursement from the Commonwealth of Virginia. Test results are public information in accordance with the Virginia Freedom of Information Act. They may be shared with other regulatory agencies and interested parties. Test results will be made available to any citizen or media representative requesting them subject to a nominal fee for copying and distribution.
Property owners wishing to request sampling and testing must complete the form and send it to:
