Our goal is to ensure every taxpayer is treated fairly and uniformly.  We are continuously striving to improve the office operations to better serve the public.  We hope this web site is helpful to you as you seek information on your rights and responsibilities as a citizen of Pittsylvania County.  We are located in the Courthouse Building on Main Street.
