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 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 Fredericksburg 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.
