Herald-Progress Hanover County, Virginia

Living here

Schools, libraries, dog licenses, trash and recycling, taxes and the numbers you need.

About 110,000 people live in Hanover County, many of them in the suburbs between Mechanicsville and Ashland. Moving here raises practical questions: which schools serve an address, how the library system works, where the trash goes and when the personal property tax is due.

This section answers those questions in plain language and links to the county offices that publish the official rules. Fees and deadlines change, so check the date at the end of each guide.
