These contacts serve Arlington County. Use the property address and the bill, deed, or estate record when you ask a question. A property assessment, an unpaid tax balance, a recorded deed, and a probate filing are different records handled through different County routes.
Useful county offices
Start with the office that matches the task. The assessment department handles valuation information, the Treasurer handles real-estate tax collection and payments, Land Records handles deeds and recorded land documents, and the Probate Office provides the Probate & Wills route.
Arlington County · assessment information and property valuation
Contact this department about assessed value, assessment information, and assessment records. An assessment is not a title review or a determination of the real-estate tax balance.
Assessment-information contact: 703-228-3920.
Arlington County · real-estate tax collection and payments
Use the Treasurer’s Office for county real-estate tax collection and payment questions, including a tax bill or payment status. This is a different task from checking assessed value or researching a deed.
The County lists 2100 Clarendon Boulevard, Suite 201, Arlington, VA 22201 as the tax-bill mail route. Confirm current instructions before visiting; this is not a walk-in service guarantee.
Arlington County · deed and land-record research and recording
Use Land Records for deeds and other recorded land documents. The County’s services page separately points assessment-information questions to the Department of Real Estate Assessments; Land Records is not the county tax-collection office.
1425 N. Courthouse Road, Suite 6200, Arlington, VA 22201.
Arlington County · Probate & Wills information and filing route
For an estate-related house, use the Probate Office’s local Probate & Wills information and filing/contact route. The property address alone does not establish who may sign or what an estate order permits.
1425 North Courthouse Road, Suite 6300, Arlington, VA 22201.
Virginia selling-cost rule
A recorded deed is the public record of the transfer. The figures below explain the state grantor tax and Arlington’s regional fees; ask the settlement agent to confirm the amounts and who pays them for your sale.
Virginia charges grantor tax when a deed is recorded. The law says the seller pays 50 cents for each $500 of the greater of the sale price or value—about 0.1%. In Arlington County, the regional WMATA capital fee and congestion relief fee each add 0.1%; together with grantor tax, those three charges total $300 on a $100,000 sale. Separate state and local taxes for recording a deed may also apply.
The sale contract can shift who pays. Exemptions and transfers with little or no consideration can change the amount, so ask the settlement agent to confirm the charges and allocation for this sale. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Virginia state and local recordation taxes, grantor tax and any applicable regional WMATA capital fee, regional congestion relief fee or regional transportation improvement fee. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes and share of current property taxes are separate.
