Beginning Oct. 1 "Henrico, Virginia" Will Be Our New Address!

Our residents have spoken! As you know, an overwhelming majority of county residents supported the address change from "Richmond, Virginia" to "Henrico, Virginia" in a survey last spring. A full 61 percent of respondents voted "yes" to change our mailing address, and if you haven't already, now is the time to start using it!

The County's Own Mailing Address Effective October 1, 2008, the mailing address for the county general government changed to "Henrico, Virginia." With this transition, the United States Postal Service (USPS) has issued a new post office box number for the county government. All citizen correspondence on or after October 1, 2008 should include the new address as shown on the right. Please remember to include the appropriate county department and name of the individual where applicable.

Henrico County Post Office Box 90775 Henrico, VA 23273-0775

Who Should Use the "Henrico" Address?
With the exception of Glen Allen and Sandston, if you live in Henrico County, or your business is located in Henrico, then you may now use the "Henrico, Virginia" address.

For the zip codes not surveyed (23222, 23223, 23226, 23227 and 23230) the USPS advised that you may now use "Henrico, Virginia" permanently. For mailing addresses in zip code 23075, "Henrico" is the preferred address, but "Highland Springs, Virginia" remains an acceptable alternate community name.

No Formal Address Change Required
You do not need to (and should not) initiate a formal address change through the USPS. Simply begin using "Henrico, Virginia" in your correspondence. Over time, you will begin to receive some mail from various utilities and businesses using the "Henrico, Virginia" address. Any mail sent to you from Henrico County Government will also use the new address.
