How Tax Delinquent Property Sales Work in Virginia
Virginia has no tax-lien certificate. Localities collect delinquent real-estate taxes by filing a judicial suit in chancery to sell the property, and title passes by special-commissioner deed after the circuit court confirms the sale. There is no lien instrument an investor can buy; the buyer acquires fee title to the delinquent parcel, subject to court confirmation. A locality can bring the suit once taxes are delinquent on December 31 following the second anniversary of the due date; a one-year trigger (December 31 after the first anniversary) applies to parcels assessed at $100,000 or less and to condemned, derelict, or blighted parcels. Because everything runs through the circuit court, there is no fixed statewide calendar — sales happen on a rolling basis whenever a locality's delinquent-tax attorney brings a batch of parcels to auction.
Bidding & Auctions
The sale is a premium, highest-bid public auction — held live or online — conducted by a court-appointed special commissioner. After the auction the commissioner reports the sale to the circuit court, which must confirm it before title passes. Many Virginia localities use specialized delinquent-tax law firms to run these auctions, such as Taxing Authority Consulting Services (TACS) or Sands Anderson, and some sell through platforms like GovDeals or Bid4Assets. Because closing depends on court confirmation, the buyer's purchase is not final at the fall of the hammer.
Redemption & Penalties
Redemption in Virginia is pre-sale only. The owner, along with heirs or assigns, may redeem at any time before the date set for the judicial sale by paying all taxes, penalties, interest, publication costs, and a reasonable attorney fee into court. Once the court confirms the sale, the former owner has no right to redeem. Virginia is a pure deed state, so a purchaser earns no statutory redemption interest or penalty — the return is simply the discount to market value at auction. Because the sale can be defeated by the owner's redemption right right up until the sale date, and prior liens require diligence, careful title work is essential.
See Virginia Code Title 58.1, Chapter 39, Article 4. Specific procedures vary by county — always verify with the local tax assessor/collector before bidding.

Does Virginia have a redemption period after the sale?▾
No. Redemption is pre-sale only — the owner can redeem any time before the date set for the judicial sale, but once the circuit court confirms the sale there is no right to redeem.
Can I buy a tax lien certificate in Virginia?▾
No. Virginia has no tax-lien certificate. Localities foreclose through a judicial chancery suit, and the buyer receives fee title by special-commissioner deed after court confirmation.
When can a locality sell a delinquent parcel?▾
Generally once taxes are delinquent on December 31 following the second anniversary of the due date. A one-year trigger applies to parcels assessed at $100,000 or less and to condemned, derelict, or blighted parcels.
When are Virginia tax sales held?▾
There is no statewide calendar. Sales occur on a rolling basis whenever a locality's delinquent-tax attorney brings a batch of parcels through the chancery suit to auction, so timing varies widely by county and city.
