Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

§ 15.2-3108. Petition and hearing; recordation of order; costs.
Within a reasonable time after a voluntary boundary agreement
is adopted by the affected localities, each affected locality shall petition
the circuit court for one of the affected localities to approve the boundary
agreement. The petition shall set forth the facts pertaining to the desire to
relocate or change the boundary line between the localities, and the petition
shall include or have attached to it either (i) a plat depicting the
change in the boundaries of the localities as agreed or; (ii) a
metes and bounds description of the new boundary line as agreed upon by the two

and Goochland, a Geographic Information System (GIS) map depicting the change
in the boundaries of the localities as agreed, having been established by
Virginia State Plane Coordinates, South Zone, meeting National Geodetic Survey
standards. If the court finds that the procedures required by § 15.2-3107
have been complied with and that the petition is otherwise in proper order, the
court shall enter an appropriate order establishing the new boundary. The order
shall include a plat depicting the change in the boundaries of the locality or,
a metes and bounds description of the new boundary line of the locality, or,
regarding the boundary between the Counties of Louisa and Goochland, a GIS map
depicting the change in the boundaries of the localities that includes the
Virginia State Plane, South Zone coordinates, and that order shall be
entered in the land records of the court and indexed in the names of the
localities which were involved. Costs shall be awarded as the court may
determine. Whenever such an order is entered, a certified copy of the order
shall be sent to the Secretary of the Commonwealth by the clerk of the court.
