Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

Where do I find laws on building a house in Virginia that has an existing 1,000 sq. ft. house uninhabited, currently being used for storage? It appears it is more cost effective to build new rather than renovate existing. Bottom line- Can another house be built on the 1 acre or does the existing have to be demolished first?

Your question is very likely governed by local zoning laws and regulations of

the city or county in which this property is located.

Consequently, best to contact your local government agency responsible for

zoning enforcement which should be able to link you with a person

who can specifically answer your particular question as to how it may apply to this particular locality where the property is located.
