Foreclosures & Tax Sales in Virginia
Partial — free sources, some legwork
Locality tax-sale lists are published free by the contracted firms/county pages; no state index. Independent cities (38) are separate jurisdictions - directory must include them.
Foreclosure in Virginia
Process type
Non-judicial foreclosure (trustee sale)
Where official sales publish
See the source list below — official notices and auction listings for Virginia.
Official & major foreclosure sources
- Auction.com (foreclosure + REO auctions, all 50 states)
- Hubzu (bank-owned + foreclosure auctions)
- Xome (REO/foreclosure auctions)
- RealtyTrac (ATTOM; pre-foreclosure/auction/REO listings, paid)
- Foreclosure.com (paid listing aggregator)
- HUD HomeStore (federal REO, free)
- Fannie Mae HomePath (federal REO, free)
- Trustee sales advertised in newspapers; trustee/ law-firm sale calendars (several VA firms publish upcoming sale lists)
No single public link — start from your county government site and search for “Virginia sheriff sale”, “public trustee sale”, or the county newspaper of record for legal notices.
Tax sales in Virginia
Channel
Tax deed via judicial tax sales run by counties/cities through special commissioners and tax-sale firms
Sale schedule
Rolling sales year-round by locality
Redemption basics
None after sale (owner redeems before sale; bills of complaint after ~2 years delinquency)
Redemption periods and sale dates are state-level basics — counties deviate. Confirm against the county's own sale notice for the current cycle.
Wholesaling in Virginia is restricted — read this first
License triggered once wholesaling is a 'pattern of business'; only licensees may publicly market properties they don't own (DPOR enforcement).
Education only — not legal advice. Confirm your approach with a local real estate attorney before you sign anything.
Local notes
VA's independent-cities quirk is a classic data-model trap - note it in the dataset design.
