ADMINISTRATION/COUNCIL
Administration manages the day-to-day operations for
the Town and consists of the Town Manager, Executive
Assistant/Town Clerk, Assistant Town Manager/Director
of Economic Development and Human Resources Direc-
tor.
Town Council holds regular public meetings on the
first and third Tuesdays of each month at 7 p.m. in the
Council Chambers. All meeting notices and agendas are
available at www.vintonva.gov, or you may contact the
Town Manager’s office at 540-983-0607 for additional
information.
The Treasurer’s Office has three primary functions and
responsibilities: Collecting and tracking revenue, safe-
guarding revenue and distributing revenue.
WATER AND SEWER
The Treasurer’s Office processes and maintains all
utility billing. Utility bills are mailed on the first of every
odd month for residential customers, and each month for
commercial customers.
Payments are due on the 18th and if the 18th falls on
a holiday or weekend, they are due on the next busi-
ness day. Payments can be made inside the Treasurer’s
Office, 311 S. Pollard St., or at the drive-up window
Monday - Friday, 8 am - 5 pm.
Before or after business hours, payments may be
made at the night drop box beside the drive-up window,
online at www.vintonva.gov, through online bill pay with
your bank or drafted from your checking account.
ANIMAL LICENSES
According to the Code of Virginia, all dogs must be vac-
cinated for rabies by the time they are 4 months old and
licensed in the locality in which they live.
Effective January 1, 2015, no more than four dogs or
cats, in any combination thereof (this number not including
dogs or cats under four months of age) may be licensed at
any one address within the Town. If more than two dogs or
cats are kept as permitted herein, such additional dogs or
cats must be spayed or neutered. Effective July 1, 2007,
veterinarians are required to notify the treasurer when a
dog is given a rabies vaccination. If the dog owner has not
purchased a license within 90 days of the rabies inocula-
tion, the treasurer is required to send them an application
and a bill for the license (Code of Virginia, Section 3.1-
796.87:1).
TREASURER
Animal licenses for dogs and cats expire on December
31st of each year, and new licenses go on sale December
1st.
To obtain a new license, you must present the treasurer’s
office with a current rabies certification for each animal.
The certification must indicate if the animal is neutered or
spayed.
Fees are as follows:
• 1 year license - $10
• 1 year license (Spayed/Neutered) - $5
• 3 year License - *$27
• 3 year License (Spayed/Neutered) - *$13.50
* Three-year licenses may only be purchased if the
license period does not exceed the period in which the
rabies inoculation is effective.
PERSONAL PROPERTY/VEHICLE LICENSE FEE
New town residents must register their vehicles at the
Roanoke County Commissioner’s Office within 60 days in
order to pay their taxes in conformity to the local ordinance.
Existing town residents who purchase or sell/trade vehicles
during the year must also register their vehicles at the
Roanoke County Commissioner’s Office within 60 days.
Personal Property taxes are due May 31st.
REAL ESTATE
The Roanoke County Real Estate Assessment office
annually performs assessments on properties within the
Town. Values are effective as of January 1st of each year.
The Town real estate tax rate is established during the
budget process. It is due in two equal installments, on June
5th and December 5th, respectively.
BUSINESS LICENSES
New businesses operating within the corporate limits of
Vinton must obtain a business license. Existing businesses
must submit their renewal application by January 31st and
remit payment by March 1st of each year.
For questions about license requirements or costs, call
the Treasurer’s Office. Business Personal Property is
assessed by the County of Roanoke Commissioner of
Revenue and any questions regarding Business Personal
Property are directed to 540-772-2046.
PUBLIC WORKS
Public Works is responsible for the maintenance of streets,
sidewalks, grounds, stormwater system, street signs and traffic
signals, as well as event support, water and sewer services
in Vinton and East Roanoke County, and collection of refuse,
recyclables, bulk and brush. Refuse collection services include
free weekly curbside collection and bi-monthly recycling.
Public Works also handles utility service problems such
as low water pressure, sewer backups, leaks on public
property, requests for utility taps and other service-relat-
ed items.
REFUSE COLLECTION
• All refuse to be collected must be placed at the pick-
up location by 7 a.m. on the scheduled day. Residents
who are unable to carry refuse to the pick-up location
may call Public Works for special arrangements.
• Household refuse is manually picked up at both curbs
and alleys and is collected in a load packer. Refuse that
cannot be collected in the load packer (brush, tree limbs,
furniture, appliances) is considered bulk. Bulk refuse is
only picked up at curbs, not in alleys. A special truck is
used for bulk pick-up. Place bulk items away from poles,
overhead lines, cars and other obstacles.
• Disposal of freezers, refrigerators and other similar
containers pose a safety hazard. When placing such
items out for pick-up, residents must comply with the
requirements of Town Code Section 46-2.
• When the amount of bulk refuse requires five full-size
pickup truck loads, a $50 fee is charged. Additionally,
$15 is added for each load in excess of five. A hang
tag notification will be given to residents who are being
charged a fee. Fees must be paid in the treasurer’s office
in advance of bulk pick-up.
Residents can avoid fees by placing bulk out in smaller
quantities over a two or three- week period. Citizens
may also take up to a three-quarter ton pickup-size
load of brush and bulk materials to the Roanoke Valley
Resource Authority (RVRA), located at 1020 Hollins Rd.
Residents are authorized up to 12 trips per year. See
“Residential Disposal Policy” on the Town Website for
details.
• Tree trunks and limbs must not exceed 2 ft. in diam-
eter or 6 ft. long. They should be placed at the curb for
pickup. Do not mix lumber or other prohibited material
with brush.
• Grass clippings and leaves must be bagged in heavy
grade plastic bags. The bags should be placed at the
curb separate from brush refuse.
• A special Fall Leaf Collection is scheduled annually
during November and December. During this period only,
leaves will be collected in loose piles.
The leaves must be raked to the front edge of the
property. Loose leaves should not be placed in the street
or gutter where they will restrict the flow of storm runoff
or block stormwater inlets.
The schedule for Fall Leaf Collection will be advertised
on RVTV Access Channel 3 and the Town website.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Stormwater management is the process of controlling
the runoff that comes primarily from impervious surfaces
like parking lots, driveways and rooftops. Stormwater
flows directly from streets and gutters into our streams
and river, often with no treatment.
This means stormwater can transport pollutants such
as motor oil, household cleaners, yard fertilizers, litter,
pet wastes, soaps, grass clippings, sediment and other
materials that may negatively impact the quality of drink-
ing water and aquatic life in creeks and the Roanoke
River. Clean stormwater runoff is essential to the overall
environmental health of our creeks, streams, lakes, rivers
and oceans.
The mission of stormwater management is to integrate
water quality and quantity control in compliance with the
Town’s stormwater discharge permit.
This permit is issued by the Department of Environ-
mental Quality (DEQ). The VSMP MS4 permit can be
viewed on the Town website under the Planning and
Zoning Department section.
In response to the Clean Water Act’s requirements,
the Town of Vinton has developed a comprehensive and
proactive stormwater management program, in coop-
eration with adjoining Roanoke Valley governments.
Three high-priority water quality impairments have been
selected: bacteria, sediment, and nutrients. The Town
has been assigned a total maximum daily load (TMDL)
for these impairments.
The Town’s stormwater education outreach and in-
volvement includes strong emphasis on K-12 education,
citizens, businesses, and development communities in
cooperation with the Roanoke County Division of Storm-
water Management and the Clean Valley Council. Call
540-983-0601 to learn more.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
The Town Council and staff of the Economic Devel-
opment Department are highly invested in community
success. We know that each business helps enrich the
community by creating jobs and generating revenue that
serves the greater good of all Vinton residents.
We offer a number of programs and incentives to help
you establish and grow your business, including busi-
ness development, existing business support, public-pri-
vate partnerships and incentives for projects.
For more information, please call 540-983-0607.
PUBLIC WORKS (con’t.)
• Tires – The RVRA will accept up to four tires a year
from Town residents at no charge (additional tires will
incur a charge of $2 each). Commercial or dealer tires are not
collected.
• Adopt-A-Truck Program – Vinton residents may call
Public Works to schedule the parking of a dump truck (at no
charge) for loading refuse. The truck is dropped off at
approximately 3 p.m. and picked up the next morning by 8
a.m. Non-acceptable waste items listed below and brush
cannot be placed in the truck.
PROHIBITED WASTE ITEMS
These items will not be collected:
• Hazardous waste, as defined in section 10.1-1400
of the Code of Virginia. The RVRA publishes a brochure
providing guidance on the proper disposal of household
waste. Residents can also take household hazardous
waste to the RVRA. For more information, please check
the RVRA website (www.rvra.net/hhw.htm) or call 540-
857-5050.
• Tree stumps or root balls, dead animals, automobile
or motorcycle parts, machinery and waste material from
construction, remodeling, repair or demolition, including
but not limited to: lumber, concrete, asphalt, fencing,
roofing materials, plaster, gypsum board, piping and all
other similar items.
Contractors who perform work on a property shall be
responsible for removing the waste and legally disposing
of it. Residents may also dispose of these items at the
RVRA.
RECYCLING COLLECTION
Recyclables are collected every other week and must
be placed at the curb or alley by 7 a.m. on the scheduled
day. Each household is issued one recycling container at
no charge that is assigned to their residence but remains
Town property.
Containers are replaced at no charge if deteriorated
through normal wear and tear. Residents who move
will be responsible for the container assigned to their
residence and should leave it for the next resident. If the
container is not left for the next resident, a fee may be
charged or a lien may be placed against the property.
The following is a list of recyclable items the Town
collects:
• Aluminum and steel/tin cans - Labels removed and
rinsed (can be bagged together).
• Plastic bottles - Milk jugs, water containers and clear
or opaque beverage containers.
• Newspaper - including inserts - must be clean and
dry. NOTE: Magazines and phone books are not collect-
ed. Glass is not accepted at curbside pick-up.
• Lake Drive Plaza Recycling Drop Off - The follow-
ing recyclables can also be deposited into the containers
in the parking lot of Lake Drive Plaza: HDPE (#2) and
PETE (#1) such as milk jugs, water containers and clear
or opaque beverage containers , mixed paper and mixed
aluminum cans.
Planning and Zoning is committed to proactive, com-
munity-based planning and code enforcement founded
on public participation, and also to promoting the health,
safety and prosperity of all present and future residents
through effective planning of development and re-devel-
opment in our community.
The department’s primary responsibilities include
evaluating, updating and enforcing the Town of Vinton’s
zoning and nuisance ordinances, which govern its plan-
ning and zoning activities.
The department issues zoning and sign permits for all
new businesses, and also reviews and approves all doc-
uments related to subdivisions and development of lands
and land use activities within the Town.
This department also issues over-the-counter per-
mits (plumbing, mechanical, electrical service upgrade,
re-roofing, small garages and storage buildings, minor
additions, small pools and similar permits) for work within
the Town that does not require the review and approval of
the building official.
Structures requiring a permit include, but are not limited
to: storage buildings, garages, retaining walls, decks, pa-
tios, porches, carports, and in-ground and above-ground
swimming pools that are 24” or more in depth.
Over-the-counter permits for plumbing, mechanical
and electrical work in East Roanoke County can also be
issued. In addition to cash or checks, credit/debit cards
can now be accepted for payment of over-the-counter
permits.
Planning and Zoning processes petitions for variances
and special exceptions to be heard by the Board of Zon-
ing Appeals, as well as petitions for rezoning and special
uses to be heard by the Planning Commission and Town
Council.
