Fredericksburg is the one market in our coverage area outside Northern Virginia's two regional transfer fees, and for a seller that is worth real money: the $0.20 per $100 that a Prince William or Fairfax seller owes under §§ 58.1-802.3 and 58.1-802.4 does not apply here at all — about $760 kept on a $380,000 sale. Combined with prices well under the NoVA median, the same percentage rates land on a much smaller base.
Deeds here go to the Fredericksburg Circuit Court Clerk, not to Spotsylvania or Stafford County — the city is independent of both, and levies no transfer tax of its own.
Buyers have a separate Virginia recordation tax of $0.25 per $100. City of Fredericksburg 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.
