VA HB803

Creates a legal process for property owners to petition circuit court for right of entry onto adjoining property when necessary repairs or maintenance cannot be performed without access and the neighbor has denied permission or imposed unreasonable conditions

Requires petitions to include specific details: the repairs needed, efforts made to obtain permission, why entry is necessary, requested entry date, identification of service providers, and proof of proper licensing and insurance

Courts may grant entry rights after proper service on the adjoining property owner and a hearing, with conditions as justice requires including potential bond requirements

Entry granted under this provision is not considered trespass, but the petitioning owner must restore the adjoining property to its previous condition and is liable for any actual damages caused

Directs the Office of the Executive Secretary of the Supreme Court of Virginia to create a standardized form for these petitions
