Useful City offices
Property assessments, tax balances, deeds, and court judgments are different records. Use the property address, account number, or case papers when contacting an office. A deed search will not answer an assessed-value question, and a tax bill will not show whether a court judgment applies to a property.
City of Virginia Beach · assessed values and assessment records
Contact the Assessor for a property assessment or assessed-value question. Assessment records are different from a tax balance, recorded deed, or court judgment.
City of Virginia Beach · real-estate tax accounts and delinquent collections
Use the Treasurer for a City real-estate tax bill, account balance, or delinquency notice. The Real Estate and Delinquent Collections divisions handle tax-account questions; neither sets the assessed value.
City of Virginia Beach · recorded deeds, plats, and Circuit Court records
For a recorded deed, plat, or other land record, use the Clerk’s land-record service. A court judgment is a court record, not an assessment or deed search: check which court is named on the case papers. If they name Virginia Beach Circuit Court, contact this Clerk’s Office; for another court, use the clerk named on those papers.
City of Virginia Beach · local probate contact
For a probate question, contact the Probate Division about the City’s process and the records it handles. The probate page says appointments are required; the estate record and papers determine the next step for a particular house.
City of Virginia Beach · code complaints and property-maintenance questions
Use the City’s Code Enforcement information for a building-maintenance inspection, unsafe-property concern, or code complaint. The page routes code complaints through VB311; check the notice and address with the City.
A Virginia selling-cost rule
Virginia’s grantor tax is 50 cents for each $500, or fraction of $500, of the greater of the sale price or value. Virginia Beach is among the Hampton Roads cities with a regional transportation improvement fee. Separate state and, where adopted, local recordation taxes can also apply. Exemptions, a transfer with little or no consideration, and the sale contract can change the amount or who pays; ask the settlement agent to confirm the figures for your transaction.
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.
This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes. For a current real-estate tax bill or delinquency, contact the City Treasurer; the sale-cost rules do not tell you the balance on a particular account.
