What closing actually costs in Carlyle, VA
- Regional transportation fees (seller)
- 0.2%
- Local recordation tax
- 0.083%
- Recording office
- City of Alexandria
Alexandria is an independent city, so it records through its own circuit court clerk rather than a county's. Virginia gives no locality the power to levy a transfer tax, so nothing of that kind is added here.
For most sales in the City of Alexandria, the seller pays $0.20 per $100 in Northern Virginia transportation fees. The purchase contract can divide that cost differently, and refinances do not carry the fee. See Va. Code §§ 58.1-802.3 and 58.1-802.4.
Buyers pay Virginia recordation tax of $0.25 per $100 on the deed (the price) and $0.25 per $100 on the purchase deed of trust (the loan). The City of Alexandria adds a local recordation tax of one-third of the state tax, about $0.083 per $100, on both. See Va. Code §§ 58.1-801, 58.1-803 and 58.1-814.
Carlyle sits in City of Alexandria, so these county rates apply here. For a worked example against a specific sale price, use the calculator.
