Deeds are recorded with the circuit court clerk. The clerk collects the state and local recordation tax and the grantor's tax, figured on the price (consideration) or the assessed value, whichever is greater. The clerk may confirm the price by affidavit or other evidence, so the price becomes part of the public land records.

Recordation tax and grantor's tax: State recordation tax: "25 cents on every $100 or fraction thereof of (i) the consideration of the deed or (ii) the actual value of the property conveyed, whichever is greater" (§ 58.1-801). Grantor's tax: "50 cents for each $500 or fraction thereof" (§ 58.1-802). Cities and counties may add a recordation tax "equal to one-third of the amount of the state recordation tax" (§ 58.1-3800). In Northern Virginia Transportation Authority localities, a "regional WMATA capital fee" of "$0.10 for each $100 or fraction thereof" (§ 58.1-802.3).

Virginia has 95 counties and 38 independent cities. Property Scan covers any of them, pulled on demand.

Every comp in a Property Scan report is a closed sale with a recorded price, adjusted for market time with the FHFA House Price Index for Virginia, which rose 3.1% in the four quarters to the second quarter of 2026 (how comps are chosen and adjusted).

Pricing opinions under Virginia rules

Virginia's appraiser licensing law doesn't apply to a licensed real estate broker or salesperson who gives a valuation or analysis of real estate for a fee in the ordinary course of business. The licensee must not claim to be an appraiser or call it an appraisal, and it can't replace an appraisal by a licensed appraiser.

“A real estate broker or salesperson licensed in the Commonwealth who, in the ordinary course of business, provides a valuation or analysis of real estate for a fee; however, such person shall not hold himself out as a real estate appraiser, and the valuation shall not be referred to as an appraisal and shall not be used in lieu of an appraisal performed by a licensed appraiser.”
Va. Code § 54.1-2010(A)(1)

Every Property Scan report says it's a comparative market analysis, not an appraisal. Not legal advice.
