Virginia in the United States has unique laws regarding independent city status, where a city is not part of its surrounding county. Because of this, many county courthouses and county government offices are technically located outside of the county. These include Albemarle County, Alleghany County, Augusta County, Bedford County, Frederick County, Greensville County, Prince William County, Rockbridge County, and Rockingham County. The government offices for Fairfax County, Roanoke County, James City County, and Henrico County are located within the borders of the county while the historic courthouses are located in the independent cities of Fairfax, Salem, Williamsburg, and Richmond, respectively.
