Virginia's Fairfax County — live delinquent property listings, upcoming auction dates, and investor details for 2026.
View Fairfax County on Map → Virginia OverviewFairfax County is Virginia's largest jurisdiction and a tax deed state. When a property owner is delinquent for 3+ years, the county auctions the property outright — investors receive a deed, not a certificate. No post-sale redemption period applies after the deed is issued (though a 1-year circuit court window exists in some cases). Auctions are conducted online through Virginia Auction Company. Fairfax County's high property values make even modestly-priced tax deed acquisitions significant investments.

Explore Fairfax County →Fairfax County files suit in circuit court for properties delinquent 3+ years. The court orders a sale, and the property is auctioned online through Virginia Auction Company. The winning bidder receives a deed — ownership transfers directly with no lien certificate involved.
No post-sale redemption period applies in the traditional sense — the deed transfers at sale. However, Virginia Code § 58.1-3965 provides that in some cases the original owner has up to 1 year to challenge the sale in circuit court. Title insurance is strongly recommended for all Fairfax County tax deed purchases.
Fairfax County tax deed auctions are conducted online through Virginia Auction Company (virginiaauction.com). Bidders must register on the platform, provide required identification, and submit any required deposit before the auction opens.
