Revision as of 14:32, 11 June 2019
Because of Virginia's unique laws, cities and counties are separate political jurisdictions. For many years, cities had a relatively easy path towards annexing of county land. Charlottesville slowly accumulated its current boundaries of 10.4 square miles through the annexation process by taking sections of Albemarle County until the practice was stopped by the General Assembly.
The localities have separate agencies for nearly every government service, though there are several examples of how the two work together.
A group called the Citizens Committee for City-County Cooperation has spent many years seeking to foster collaboration between the two jurisdictions.
