General information from public statutes and agency guidance, reviewed regularly, not legal advice. Rules change and counties differ; confirm with a local real-estate attorney or title company.
What the Virginia rules mean for your lists
In Virginia unpaid tax can end with the county selling the property itself, so an owner who is several years behind faces a real deadline. Sort the tax-delinquent list by years behind and amount owed, and reach the oldest balances first.
Most mortgage foreclosures in Virginia happen outside the courts and can move from notice to sale within a few months, so the first weeks after a notice matter most. Check the sale date before you write and be clear and respectful.
Virginia does not impose one statewide disclosure form on every seller, but hiding known defects is never allowed; when you resell, describe the property honestly in writing.
