Local to Campbell County
Just south of Lynchburg, from suburbs to farmland.
Campbell sits in the Piedmont just south of Lynchburg, a large county of around 55,000 residents across more than 500 square miles, part of the Lynchburg metro area. The northern end, near the city around Rustburg, Concord, and the Timberlake area, draws buyers who work in Lynchburg, while the southern half runs to farms, woods, and the Staunton River. Home values are among the more affordable in the region, with many homes well under the state median and recent sales running higher.
That range is what shapes a closing here. A Lynchburg-area subdivision is a different file from a working farm or a riverfront parcel in the south of the county. Campbell also has two incorporated towns, Altavista and Brookneal, and a strong manufacturing and industrial base. Deeds for Campbell property record with the Clerk of the Circuit Court in Rustburg, the county seat. If you are buying near the city, keep in mind Campbell County and the City of Lynchburg are separate jurisdictions. Our guide to what happens at a Virginia closing and our first-time home buyer guide walk through each step.

Recording and policy
We record the deed with the Campbell Circuit Court and issue your title insurance policy.
Closing costs in Campbell County
What recording a deed costs here.
Campbell is not in Northern Virginia, so a sale here does not carry the regional WMATA and congestion fees that apply up there. That keeps the seller’s recording costs simpler. The buyer generally pays the state recordation tax, and the seller, as grantor, pays the grantor’s tax.
The exact amount depends on your sale price and the deed. We calculate the precise numbers for your transaction and lay them out before closing. For the bigger picture, see our guide to closing costs in Virginia.
Recording charges on a Campbell sale
- State recordation tax: $0.25 per $100 (Va. Code 58.1-801), usually the buyer
- Local recordation tax: about $0.083 per $100, one third of the state tax (Va. Code 58.1-814)
- Grantor’s tax: $0.50 per $500 (Va. Code 58.1-802), the seller
- No WMATA Capital Fee or Regional Congestion Relief Fee, those are Northern Virginia only
Sources: Code of Virginia, Title 58.1, Chapter 8, and the Virginia Department of Taxation. This is general information, not tax or legal advice, and the exact amount depends on your transaction.

Campbell questions
What people ask us.
Do you handle closings throughout Campbell County?
Yes. We close across the entire county, from Rustburg, Concord, and the Lynchburg edge to the towns of Altavista and Brookneal and the rural south, for buyers, sellers, investors, and lenders, residential and commercial.
I am buying near Lynchburg. Is my property in Campbell County or the city?
It is worth confirming, because Campbell County and the City of Lynchburg are separate jurisdictions. A Lynchburg mailing address does not always mean a property is inside the city limits. It affects which court records the deed and which locality taxes the property, and we confirm it at the start of your file. If the property is in the city, our Lynchburg page covers that.
Where do Campbell County deeds get recorded?
With the Clerk of the Circuit Court for Campbell County, on Village Highway in Rustburg, the county seat. Campbell has its own circuit court, and we handle the filing for you as part of closing.
I am buying a farm or riverfront land in the south of the county. Does that change closing?
It adds a few things to check. Larger rural and riverfront parcels often raise boundary lines, access easements, rights of way, and well and septic matters, and we make sure those are clear and properly reflected in the title before you close.
What are the seller’s grantor taxes in Campbell?
As grantor, the seller pays Virginia’s grantor’s tax of $0.50 per $500 (Va. Code 58.1-802). The buyer generally pays the state recordation tax of $0.25 per $100, and there is a local recordation tax of about a third of the state amount. Because Campbell is not in Northern Virginia, the regional WMATA and congestion fees do not apply.
Do you handle commercial and industrial closings in Campbell?
Yes. Campbell has a strong manufacturing and industrial base, and around Altavista, Rustburg, and the Route 29 corridor we handle commercial and industrial closings alongside residential ones.
