Virginia Tax Sale Calendar

Quick answerVirginia tax sale timing: No fixed statewide annual date; judicial and nonjudicial sales are scheduled as needed, year-round, by locality / special commissioner What is sold: Tax deeds. Registration and deposits are due before the sale — in most counties, the day before — so the list posting date matters as much as the sale date.

Verified Virginia sale dates are added as counties publish their lists — members get them by text and email the moment they post. The sale rhythm below is from Virginia law.

Rate / penalty: n/a — pure tax deed state; no lien certificate is sold. Delinquent taxes themselves bear locality penalty/interest owed to the locality, not a return to the deed buyer

Redemption: No post-sale redemption after court confirmation and issuance of the deed. Owner may redeem by paying all taxes, penalties, interest and costs at any time before the sale (judicial sales, § 58.1-3965; nonjudicial sales, § 58.1-3975 — redeemable at any time prior to the date of sale). Land generally becomes sale-eligible when taxes are delinquent on December 31 following the 2nd anniversary of the due date (1 year for condemned/nuisance/derelict/blighted property)
