Identify your property markers

2
Check the official repository

Powhatan County files are accessible online via the official document portal: Open Official Viewer.

3
Request an as-built drawing and inspection card

Ensure you request the as-built construction diagram, which shows exact footages from house corners to the septic tank lid, distribution box, and lateral absorption trenches.
