Lake Anna Virginia Area Rules and Regulations

Our lake is bordered by 3 different counties, Louisa, Spotsylvania and Orange. Each county has its own zoning and building department and hence different rules. Check the link on this site for more information on these county regulations.

All properties around the lake are zoned either resort residential, agricultural or commercial.

Spotsylvania County, which takes in most of the north east end of the lake is also subject to the regulations of the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act. This means that developing a home site in Spotsylvania county involves more permitting and time than in Louisa or Orange counties.

The shoreline development must also be approved by Virginia Power which owns all of the shoreline around lake to an elevation of 255 feet above sea level. However, landowners in all three counties, through a legal chain of title, have a reservation of easement for the exclusive use of their shoreline. Boat houses, gazebos and other structures may be erected after permits from Virginia Power are obtained. Almost all property owners have boat houses or docks on their shore land. Virginia Power promotes and encourages use of the shoreline for recreational use of Lake Anna. You will find them pleasant and helpful in discussing your lot plans.
