How property deeds are recorded in Virginia

Virginia records real-property instruments with the Clerk of the Circuit Court for each county or independent city. That means when a Virginia property changes hands — through a sale, gift, inheritance, or refinance — the deed is filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court, where it becomes part of the public record.

The most common document types recorded under Virginia law include General Warranty Deed, Special Warranty Deed, Quitclaim Deed, and Deed of Trust. DeedNow returns the most recent recorded deed of conveyance for whichever Virginia address you search.

What's recorded with the Clerk of the Circuit Court

The Clerk of the Circuit Court office in each Virginia county maintains the official index of real-property documents. Each recorded Virginia deed typically includes:

Grantor and grantee: who's transferring title and who's receiving it.
Legal description: the platted lot and block, metes and bounds, or recorded subdivision reference for the parcel.
Consideration: the price or other consideration paid, where Virginia law requires it on the face of the document.
Recording stamp: the book/page or instrument number assigned by the Clerk of the Circuit Court when the document was filed.
Notary acknowledgment: the notarized signature block that makes the deed eligible for recording in Virginia.
