How To Request A Road Name Removal

Any request to change the official name of any road within Frederick County, whether maintained privately or by the Virginia Department of Transportation, shall be submitted in writing to the Department of IT, GIS Division.

Requests shall include the following information:
1.Either a signed letter by the sole owner of the property in which the road exists, or a petition signed by all landowners with access to the roadway and/or existing dwellings.
(The removal of any road name will result in the assignment of new structure numbers and road names to existing addresses. Everyone being affected by the change must be in agreement.)
2.A map showing the locational and present name of the road.
3.The reason for requesting the road name removal. (Background information supporting or explaining the reasons for the requested change.)

(NOTE: Prior to submitting a road name removal request, interested parties should first contact the GIS Division to verify or obtain a list of landowners or residences that would be involved in the road name removal process.)

Requests will be reviewed for completeness, they will be owner-access researched, support information will be checked, and field verification accomplished. When all requirements have been fully and successfully completed, a recommendation will be forward to the Board of Suprtvisors. The Board will make a final determination during their next regular meeting. Requesting agents attend the meeting.

Upon Final approval by the Board of Supervisors, the applicant must contact the Public Works Department at 540-665-5643 to arrange for payment and proper removal of the road name sign.
