About the guide:
On the cover: By Chesterfield County A Federal-style plantation house built in 1822 by William Winfree, Magnolia Grange is a handsome federal-style plantation house named after the circle of magnolia trees that once graced its front lawn. Noted for its distinctive architecture, Magnolia Grange contains elaborate ceiling medallions and sophisticated carving on mantels, doorways and window enframements. Careful paint restoration has
been executed through wood graining and marbleizing. Scenic wallpaper by Zuber and carpeting of the period combine with authentic furnishings to return the house to the 1820s. Magnolia Grange is listed as a Virginia Historic Landmark and is on the National Register of Historic Places. Tours are available. Magnolia Grange is operated by the Chesterfield Historical Society.

Payment of Taxes Upon moving to Chesterfield County or purchasing/trading vehicles, contact the Office of the Commissioner of the Revenue at 804-748-1281. Do this within 90 days of your relocation! Tell that office that you are a new resident to the County. They will instruct you on proper tax procedures that apply to you as a new resident. The county offers numerous ways to pay your taxes, including online, over the phone, through an Automated Payment Service from your bank account, with a credit card, check, or money order. For more information concerning payment, call (804) 748-1201.
Personal Property Taxes This tax is assessed on the value of motor vehicles, trailers and boats that are stored, garaged, or parked in Chesterfield County. The Commissioner uses the lowest value in recognized pricing guides, such as the National Automobile Buyer’s Association Used Car Guide (NADA), as the basis for vehicle assessments. The vehicle tax rate is $3.60 per $100 of assessed value. Vehicles are assessed for the number of months they are sited in Chesterfield County. All vehicles must first be registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles, Vehicle owners, lessees, and purchasers of new vehicles must register their vehicles with the Commissioner of Revenue within 90 days of moving to Chesterfield County or the purchase of vehicle. All vehicles are taxable based
October 2009
on ownership. Personal Property taxes on motor vehicles are prorated on a monthly basis, while mobile homes are not. For questions regarding mobile homes, please contact the Commissioner of the Revenue at (804) 748-1281. Personal Property tax returns must be filed on or before March 1 of each year. Taxes are to be paid by the due date of June 5 to avoid penalties and interest. Failure to register your vehicle(s) with Chesterfield County Commissioner of the Revenue will result in a late filing penalty of 10 percent and interest.
Real Estate Taxes The Department of Real Estate Assessments is responsible for maintaining accurate and up-to-date records on each locally assessed property in Chesterfield County. Written documents, deeds, wills, etc., relating to the ownership of real estate filed in the Clerk’s Office of the Circuit Court of Chesterfield County are received and processed daily by the Assessor’s Office. Assessed values are based on market activity within a given area or neighborhood. Market activity (sales data) is used to establish fair market value. The fair market value of a property is defined as the price most people would pay for the property on open market. Real Estate Taxes are due and payable twice a year, June 5 and December 5. Questions or concerns should be directed to the Treasurer or Commissioner of the Revenue.
Business Personal Property Most persons or corporations owning tangible personal property (other than motor vehicles, trailers, boats, or aircraft) that is used or available for use in a trade or business ( including processing businesses, but not manufacturing) and located within Chesterfield County as of January 1 must file the Return of Business Tangible Personal Property (“BPP”) by March 2 to avoid a 10% late filing penalty. Business personal property tax, unlike that of vehicles, is NOT pro-rated. The property is assessed at various percentages of the total capitalized cost, depending on the year of acquisition. All such property must be reported annually, including that which has been expensed or fully depreciated, and items that once were (or still are) used for personal use while still available to business use. Unlike the business license process, payments for the business tangible personal property tax do not need to accompany the return. Tax bills are mailed by the Treasurer’s Office after the return is processed by the Commissioner’s Office, and are due to be paid on or before June 5 to avoid 10% late

payment penalties and interest (10% per year, accrued monthly).
Business Licenses Most businesses located within Chesterfield County are subject to the Chesterfield County business license tax. This is a tax on the privilege of engaging in a licensable business activity within the County, and it is calculated upon gross receipts (or gross purchases in the case of wholesale merchants). New businesses must obtain all required licenses prior to beginning business in the County, and a late payment penalty of up to 10% of the tax due will be imposed along with interest if the licenses are not obtained within 30 days of the date the business opened. For existing businesses, renewal applications and appropriate tax payments must be filed in the Commissioner’s Office or postmarked on or before March 2 each year to avoid the late payment penalty and interest. In addition to completing the Application for Chesterfield County Business License , new businesses should complete the Business License Classification Questionnaire . This form provides information that is necessary in order to classify your business activities correctly. For assistance with the business license application or the licensing process, please contact the Commissioner’s Office at (804) 748-1281, or visit the office during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) All above information available www.chesterfield.gov
COURTS Chesterfield County Courthouse Circuit/General District Courthouse 9500 Courthouse Road Chesterfield, VA 23832 (804) 748-1231 Virginia’s court system includes the District Courts, consisting of the Juvenile and Domestic Relations District (J & DR) Court and the General District Court. These are courts of limited jurisdiction. The J & DR District Court handles cases involving delinquents, juveniles accused of traffic violations, child abuse, spousal abuse, support and custody matters involving minors, and children in need of services. The General District Court hears civil cases involving amounts up to $15,000, criminal cases involving misdemeanors, and traffic violations. Clerks of the J & DR and General District Courts are
October 2009
appointed by the Chief Judges of those respective courts. Final decisions of the District Courts may be appealed to the Circuit Court. Circuit Court appeals cases are heard de novo (i.e., completely new). Unlike Circuit Courts, District Courts do not conduct jury trials nor do they have jurisdiction to adjudicate felony cases. Instead the District Courts are limited to holding preliminary hearings for felony cases to merely establish probable cause. For cases involving monetary disputes between $4,500 and $15,000, General District Courts and Circuit Courts have concurrent jurisdiction. For civil cases exceeding $15,000, the Circuit Court has exclusive original jurisdiction. In addition, Circuit Courts have jurisdiction to preside over all types of criminal cases, including felonies and misdemeanor charges certified by a grand jury. Circuit Courts also preside over chancery suits (or those claims seeking judgments for something other than money). Circuit Court decisions may be appealed to the Court of Appeals or the Supreme Court of Virginia, depending on the type of case involved. Death penalty, lawyer disbarment, and most civil cases are appealed to the Supreme Court. The Chesterfield General District Court contains three divisions, the Civil, Criminal, and Traffic Courts.
CORRECTIONS Chesterfield County Jail 6900 Mimms Drive Chesterfield, VA 23832 (804) 748-1476 On May 12, 1749 a “Commission of the Peace” was issued by Governor William Gooch that created a judicial body to administer general laws. Governor Gooch appointed John Archer the first Sheriff of Chesterfield County. Griof Randolph was named his assistant. Sheriff Archer and Undersheriff Randolph were the first law enforcement officers for the County of Chesterfield. These gentlemen were also tasked with the security of the Judges, the courthouse and the jail. The earliest court records show a session taking place on July 7, 1749. In this session the court created the first acts of authorization for the building of a courthouse, prison and pillory. Chesterfield’s first jail had a rated capacity of three. The first Courthouse in Chesterfield was built in 1750. Jump to early 1990’s, where the new, modern jail experienced enormous growth in the inmate population. The jail’s rated capacity at this time was

approximately 150 prisoners. It was not unusual to find the court exceeding 400 on a regular basis. The county agreed to construct a facility that would ease the crowding problem. Plans were already set in motion to have Chesterfield participate in a Regional Jail that would be built at a later date. Construction on a Jail Annex began, with completion slated for the spring of 1994. The annex was built to house 115 prisoners, relieving the crowded conditions in the jail. The crowded conditions were relieved further with the opening of Riverside Regional Jail. This modern facility took many of the jail’s sentenced offenders awaiting transportation to the state system. Construction of a new, modern facility was completed in May of 2006. The county jail offers a Workforce program, which allows sentenced inmates to shorten the amount of time they spend in jail by working on county or state property. There are also home incarceration and work release programs. Source: www.chesterfield.gov

The Chesterfield Juvenile Detention Home was established in 1973 to better provide for the publicsafety needs of Chesterfield County residents. Its purpose is to ensure safe, secure custody for juveniles who are charged with or who have been found guilty of criminal offenses and are awaiting further court action. In 2003, the detention home’s capacity grew from 33 beds to 90. On March 6, 2003, a dedication ceremony was held to name the new facility after the late Douglas Woodfin Murphey, a judge of the 12th Judicial Circuit Court of Virginia. Murphey was selected for the honor because of his leadership and advocacy of the original detention home. Source: www.chesterfield.gov

Employment Overview Chesterfield’s labor pool is large enough to support and diverse enough to supply employees for almost any kind of new business. RichmondPetersburg metro area’s civilian non-agricultural labor force consisted of 650,230 people in April 2008. Chesterfield’s portion of the labor pool totaled 169,560 in the same month. The workforce number is projected to continue to climb through the decade as in-migration augments the natural population increase. A high quality of life makes it easy to recruit key executives and managers from outside the area. Chesterfield’s unemployment rate remains at a low 3.0 percent, with 164,400 persons employed in April 2008. The majority of those workers still commute out of the county, but 39,740 workers commuted into Chesterfield County in 2000.

Agriculture 4-H Program 4-H is the comprehensive youth development program of Virginia Cooperative Extension. Youth between the ages of 5 and 18 engage in hands-on learning experiences under the guidance of adult or teen 4-H volunteers trained by 4-H agents. 4-H programs use experiential learning opportunities to teach the latest research-based subject matter knowledge and to foster skill development in effective citizenship, leadership, and other life skills. Youth also participate in educational experiences at six 4-H educational centers. 4-H has both a schoolbased and a community-based delivery model. The specific learning experiences a 4-H member participates in are shaped locally and supported at the state and national levels. 4-H members learn how to make decisions, manage resources, work with others, and utilize effective communication skills.

Bellwood Elk herd expands by two By Eric Millirons Special Correspondent
One of Chesterfield’s best kept secrets is the elk herd that roams on about 20 acres of the Defense Supply Center Richmond’s post. Keeping them happy, safe and well maintained is the job of Robert Fields, who for the past 39 years has been watching out for them. Last month, the herd increased from nine to 11 with the addition of two new calves, easily recognizable because they are the smallest of the elk. After only one month, they are close to the size of a small adult deer. Not only are they protected by Fields, they also have very protective mothers. As Fields noted “I tried to get close (to the calves) once, and they (the cows) tried to kick my pickup truck. They are really protective of the babies.” The leader of the herd is about a 700-pound bull with a rack that is totally amazing. Should one get a little too close, even if it is on the opposite side of the fence, this “Boss” will let you know his displeasure by a false charge, gritting his teeth or snorting. Only eight years old, he succeeded his predecessor, named Junior, about four years ago when Junior passed on to the great meadow in the sky. As Stephen Baker, Public Affairs Specialist with DSCR, noted “This is not a petting zoo.” Since access to DSCR is greatly restricted since 9-11, these noble animals don’t have many visitors, but come late fall, when the rutting season is in full swing, if you listen closely you may hear the bellow of the “Boss” calling his cows.
