Local to Christiansburg
The county seat of Montgomery County and the Valley’s retail hub.
Christiansburg is an incorporated town of about 22,700 residents and the seat of Montgomery County, the retail center of the New River Valley where Interstate 81 meets Route 460. Because the county courthouse sits right here in town, deeds for Christiansburg property record at the Montgomery County Circuit Court in Christiansburg. Recent figures put the town’s median home value near $253,000, with ownership at about 60 percent.
The town pairs a historic core around the courthouse with newer subdivisions and shopping near the interstate, drawing families, commuters, and Virginia Tech staff. If you are buying, our guide to what happens at a Virginia closing and our guide to buying a home in the Roanoke and New River Valley walk through each step. We handle the entire closing remotely when that is easier, through secure remote and mail-away options.

Closing costs in Christiansburg
What you can expect at the table.
Christiansburg sits outside the Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads regional transportation districts, so a sale here does not carry the extra regional recordation fees those areas add. 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 Christiansburg 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 Northern Virginia or Hampton Roads regional fees
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.
Protect your funds
A Christiansburg closing moves real money, and that draws wire fraud.
A home purchase is one of the largest payments most people ever make, and that makes a closing a target. We use protected escrow and verified wire instructions, and we confirm details by phone before any funds move.
Before you send a dollar, call our office and confirm the instructions with a person you have spoken with. We will never send new wire instructions by email out of the blue. Learn how real estate wire fraud works so you know what to watch for.
Before you wire a dollar
- Call our office at a number you looked up yourself
- Confirm the wire instructions with a person by phone
- Treat any emailed change of instructions as fraud until verified
- Ask your bank to confirm the receiving name, not just the number
- Keep a record of who you spoke with and when

Christiansburg questions
What people ask us.
Do you handle closings throughout Christiansburg?
Yes. We close across the entire town, from Courthouse Square and Main Street to Cambria and the subdivisions along the Route 460 corridor, for buyers, sellers, and lenders, residential and commercial.
Where do Christiansburg deeds get recorded?
Christiansburg is the seat of Montgomery County, so the county courthouse is right here in town. Deeds record with the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Montgomery County in Christiansburg. That recording is what makes the transfer part of the public record, and we handle the filing for you as part of closing.
I am buying a newer home in a subdivision. Anything to watch?
Yes. Newer Christiansburg subdivisions often carry homeowners association covenants and fees, and sometimes shared stormwater or road maintenance obligations. We review the recorded covenants and what is on title so you know the rules and costs before closing.

As grantor, the seller pays Virginia’s grantor’s tax of $0.50 per $500 (Va. Code 58.1-802).
