Virginia, relating to where county, city and town officers shall reside.
[S 31]
Approved February 2, 1968
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That § 15.1-51, as amended, of the Code of Virginia be amended
and reenacted as follows:
§ 15.1-51. Where officers shall reside—Every district officer shall,
at the time of his election or appointment, have resided in the district
for which he is elected or appointed thirty days next preceding his elec-
tion or appointment, and residence in any incorporated town within the
district shall be regarded as residence in the district. Every county officer,
except deputy clerks of courts of record, shall, at the time of his election
or appointment, have resided six months next preceding his election or
appointment, either in the county for which he is elected or appointed,
or in the city wherein the courthouse of the county is or in a city wholly
within the boundaries of such county, except that, if no practicing lawyer,
who has resided in the county or in such city for the period aforesaid,
offer for election or appointment, it shall be lawful to elect or appoint
as attorney for the Commonwealth for such county a nonresident, or one
who has not resided in the county, or in such city, for the period above
mentioned, and except, further, that if no qualified surveyor, who has
resided in the county the aforesaid period, offers for appointment, it
shall be lawful to appoint, as county surveyor, a nonresident, or one who
has not resided in the county for the requisite period, if the judge or the
court making the appointment certifies that there is no qualified surveyor,
having the requisite qualifications as to residence, who will serve as such.
Every city and town officer except members of the police and fire depart-
ments, and town attorney shall, at the time of his election or appointment,
have resided one year next preceding his election or appointment in such
city or town unless otherwise specifically provided by charter.
Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this section, deputy
sergeants and jailors for the city of Fredericksburg shall not be required
to reside within the corporate limits of that city.
2. An emergency exists and this act is in force from its passage.
