Complete Guide

How Tax Sales Work in Virginia

Tax sales in Virginia are administered at the county level. When property taxes go unpaid, the county advertises the parcel for a public tax sale — as a tax deed auction, a tax lien certificate sale, or a sheriff sale, depending on local law. Winning bidders acquire either ownership or a lien that can earn interest or lead to ownership after a redemption period.

Taxes Go Unpaid

A property owner in Virginia falls behind on county property taxes, and interest and penalties accrue.

County Acts

The county schedules a tax deed auction or a tax lien certificate sale and observes the statutory notice period.

Public Sale Listed

The property or lien is advertised for public auction, usually at a minimum bid covering the arrears plus fees.

Investor Wins the Bid

The highest bidder receives a deed or a lien certificate, subject to any applicable redemption period.

💡

Investor Tip

Always confirm each county's specific tax sale rules, registration requirements, and redemption periods before bidding on a property in Virginia. Rules can differ significantly from one county to the next.
