 Bedford County GIS Map

Bedford County's Internet-based GIS (Geographical Information Systems) is available to view online at http://www.onlinegis.net/VaBedford.

A GIS is a sophisticated computer based system that has the capability to retrieve, store, manage, analyze and apply this spacial information in making faster, better and more informed decisions. This online GIS application allows the viewer to search, query, display and print particular spatial and attribute data of the county.

Current layers of data for the county include tax parcels, streets, addresses, zoning, aerial photography and topography. Water and sewer service areas are also included as an optional layer. As the county's GIS matures, we will be adding more data layers and attribute information.

Questions/comments/suggestions can be sent to onlineGIS@co.bedford.va.us or to the GIS office, 587-5677.

Miss Utility is the organization that coordinates the marking of utility lines to prevent them from being damaged by excavation or demolition work. Virginia’s Underground Utility Damage Prevention Act requires that everyone, including homeowners, must call Miss Utility (1-800-552-7001) 48 hours before performing the work. After 48 hours, a second call must be made to Miss Utility’s Ticket Information Exchange (TIE) to determine whether all utilities have reported their lines either marked or clear. An additional 24-hours could be required for all locations to be reported.

The Bedford County Public Service Authority marks public waterlines as requested through Miss Utility to prevent damage to our waterlines. We do not mark the private water lines that extend beyond our meters where individual service begins.

Effective July 1, 2001 the Responsible Land Disturber Certificate of Competence Program was established as a component of the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control (ESC) Program by revisions to the Virginia Erosion and Sediment Control Law (Title 10.1, Chapter 5, Article 4 of the Code of Virginia). A certified responsible land disturber is required by state law to be employed by any construction company contracted by the BCPSA that requires a Land Disturbing Permit.
