Fairfax County Tax Deeds: What Investors Need to Know

Fairfax 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.

Frequently Asked Questions: Fairfax County

How do Fairfax County tax deed sales work?

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.

Is there a redemption period after a Fairfax County tax deed sale?

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.
