The official source

Where the official Fairfax County list lives

The records behind this list are kept by the Fairfax County Department of Tax Administration. Many counties let anyone look up a property there for free, and some publish the whole list. Check the office's website for the format and any fee.

The free route is real: for one list in one county, the county office may be enough. What LeadCounty adds is the weekly collection from every office, matching each record to the right property, a likely-to-sell score with reasons, filters, and stacking with other lists. Virginia rules and the Virginia guide explain how the process works.

Why these owners may sell

Managing a house from another state is hard. Out-of-state owners, often heirs or former residents, are among the most willing sellers.
