2014 Virginia Code
Title 33.1 - Highways, Bridges and Ferries
§ 33.1-165. (Repealed effective October 1, 2014) Conveying sections of roads or other property no longer necessary

When any road abandoned as above provided is deemed by the governing body no longer necessary for the public use, it shall so certify such facts upon its minutes and it may authorize the sale and conveyance in the name of the county a deed or deeds conveying such sections, either for a consideration or in exchange for other lands that may be necessary for the uses of the county. But before any such deed either for the sale or exchange of land is executed conveying any section of a road upon or along which any person or persons reside, notice shall be given by the governing body to the owner or owners of the land upon which such person or persons reside of the intention to convey the section of road and if, after a reasonable notice of such intention, any such landowner requests, a hearing shall be ordered by the governing body. If, upon such hearing, it is made to appear that such section of road should be kept open for the reasonable convenience of such landowner, or the public, then such section of road shall not be conveyed. The action of the governing body under this section shall not be subject to § 15.2-1800.
