Official websiteCounty notes
- Prince George County publishes no tax sale calendar on its own website. The operative notice, bidding terms and parcel list come from the court-appointed special commissioner, Taxing Authority Consulting Services, PC, at taxva.com.
- The Treasurer's Office at (804) 722-8750 handles delinquent real estate collection and refers accounts to Taxing Authority Consulting Services, reachable for payoff questions at 1-866-951-8742. That office does not run the auction and does not maintain a bidder list.
- Sales here are sporadic rather than annual, so join the special commissioner's email notification list for upcoming auctions to catch a Prince George offering when it is decreed.
- Treasurer's Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, excluding holidays. Fax (804) 863-0529, email [email protected].
Virginia rules
- Redemption
- An owner listed in the published notice, or the owner's heirs, devisees, successors, and assigns, may redeem the real estate at any time before the date set for the judicial sale by paying into court everything due. The right ends when the sale happens; Virginia gives no redemption window after the hammer falls and no redemption window after the deed is recorded. Partial payment does not redeem the property and does not suspend, invalidate, or moot the suit. The treasurer may instead suspend the sale by entering an installment agreement with the owner running no more than 72 months, and an owner who defaults on such an agreement cannot enter a second one for the same property for three years. The same before-the-sale-only cutoff applies on the nonjudicial track under 58.1-3975. What does exist after the sale is not redemption but a challenge: a party served only by publication may petition for a rehearing for good cause within 90 days of the order confirming the sale.
- Deed deposit
- No statewide deposit percentage exists. Article 4 leaves the terms of sale to the special commissioner and the confirming court, so the deposit is whatever the advertised terms of that sale require. Read the terms of sale published with each auction and confirm accepted funds with the commissioner before bidding.
- Surplus proceeds
- The former owner and the owner's heirs, devisees, successors, or assigns are entitled to the surplus received from the sale above the taxes, penalties, interest, reasonable attorney fees, costs, and any liens chargeable on the parcel, and the burden is on the claimant to prove entitlement. If no claim is made within two years after the date the sale is confirmed, the clerk pays the money to the locality that received the sale proceeds. On the nonjudicial track, excess proceeds sit in an interest-bearing escrow account held by the treasurer, a claimant has two years from the date of sale to schedule a hearing in circuit court, and unclaimed money goes to the locality's general fund.
A tax deed does not convey marketable title. Most buyers file a quiet title action before they can resell or insure the property. See the due diligence guide.
