Call before going to the temporary office

Bedford’s official homepage says zoning and building staff are temporarily located at 700 Orange Street. The town asks people to call ahead because staff may be in the office or in the field.

The page lists 540-587-6024 for building and 540-587-6021 for zoning. Use the number that matches the question and recheck the homepage before traveling, because “temporarily” does not provide an end date.

An office contact is not a permit decision

Prepare the property address, parcel information and a concise description of the proposed work. A staff conversation, map view or application receipt is not a permit, zoning determination, inspection result or approval to begin construction.

This report does not state current counter hours, guarantee a same-day appointment or determine whether the Town of Bedford or Bedford County controls a particular property.
