What closing actually costs in Del Ray, VA
- Regional transportation fees (seller)
- 0.2%
- 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 have a separate Virginia recordation tax of $0.25 per $100. City of Alexandria can add a small local charge only if it has adopted an ordinance, so ask your title company or the Circuit Court Clerk to confirm the final amount for your property. See Va. Code §§ 58.1-801 and 58.1-814.
Del Ray sits in City of Alexandria, so these county rates apply here. For a worked example against a specific sale price, use the calculator.
