    Richmond, Virginia (at least the incorporated city, which is
    where the seat of state government is located), is not in
    a county.

    Yes, I believe it is located in Henrico County, VA
    I think it may be like Middleton, Nova Scotia (or any other Nova
    Scotia town or city), where it is surrounded by the county but not a
    part of it. In Nova Scotia when you are in a town or city where you
    can vote for the officials of that municipality and are under the
    ordinances of that jurisdiction otherwise you vote for the elected
    officials of the county and are under its ordinance. When you are in
    Nova Scotia you are under 3 levels of elected government - Canadian
    federal, provincial and local - either city/town or county not both
    whereas in New Jersey, you can be under 4 - US federal, state, county
    and city/town/borough/village. If I remember correctly Virginia is
    like Nova Scotia in that you are in either a municipality or they
    county but not both. Interestingly, municipal headquarters for
    counties in Nova Scotia in many cases are located within city or town boundaries.

    Maybe the answer changed in the 20 years since that question was posted.
