Separate the two governments
Campbell County's official local-government information identifies Altavista as an incorporated town with its own council and manager structure. Town services and town records therefore follow a different route from Campbell County departments and the county Board of Supervisors.
Start with the subject and responsible body: a town utility or town council record belongs with Altavista, while a county department, county tax matter or Board of Supervisors record belongs with Campbell County unless an official source says otherwise.
Do not route by postal address alone
An Altavista postal address can extend beyond a particular service boundary. Confirm whether the property or event is inside town jurisdiction before relying on a town form, meeting calendar or contact.
A request sent to one government is not proof that the other received it, and a town action is not a county action. Keep the governing-body name, meeting date and record source with any civic claim.
