Getting Set Up in Crozet

Within 30 days, title and register your car with the Virginia DMV, after insuring it; the driver's license deadline is 60 days. Then file Albemarle County's personal property registration for each vehicle, get a Virginia safety inspection, register to vote or update your address with the Albemarle Office of Elections (434-972-4173), and set up water, electric and a trash hauler, since the county has no curbside pickup.
