Local to Centreville
A planned western-Fairfax suburb, associations on most homes.
Centreville is a planned suburban community of about 75,000 people in western Fairfax County, an area that grew quickly in the 1980s and 1990s into large planned communities of single-family homes and townhomes near Interstate 66.
Here is what shapes a Centreville closing: most homes sit within a homeowners association, in communities like Sully Station, Little Rocky Run, and Virginia Run, each with its own recorded covenants and an assessment, so a resale usually calls for the association documents. Centreville is unincorporated Fairfax County, so deeds record with the Fairfax Circuit Court in the City of Fairfax. We line up the association packet and the filing. If you are buying, our guide to what happens at a Virginia closing and our first-time home buyer guide walk through each step.

Closing costs in Centreville
What the area adds to your closing.
Centreville sits inside the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority, so a sale here carries two regional recordation fees that most of Virginia does not. The buyer generally pays the state recordation tax, and the seller, as grantor, pays the grantor’s tax plus those two Northern Virginia fees.
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 Centreville 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
- WMATA Capital Fee: $0.10 per $100 (Va. Code 58.1-802.3), Northern Virginia
- Regional Congestion Relief Fee: $0.10 per $100 (Va. Code 58.1-802.4), Northern Virginia
