Local to Leesburg
The Loudoun county seat, where the courthouse sits downtown.
Leesburg is the county seat of Loudoun County and home to about 49,000 people, a historic town that runs from the brick storefronts of King and Market Streets to newer subdivisions and the townhomes and condos of the Crescent District. The median value of an owner-occupied home here is among the higher figures in Northern Virginia.
Here is the part that helps a closing go smoothly: because Leesburg is the county seat, the Loudoun land records sit right downtown at the Loudoun Circuit Court. Deeds for Leesburg property record there. And because many homes carry a Leesburg mailing address while sitting in unincorporated Loudoun County rather than inside the town limits, the true jurisdiction, with its own town taxes and services, has to be confirmed from the exact address. We do that before closing. 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 Leesburg
What the town adds to your closing.
Leesburg 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 Leesburg 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

Leesburg questions
What people ask us.
Do you handle closings throughout Leesburg?
Yes. We close across the entire town, from Old Town and the Crescent District to Potomac Station, Lansdowne, and Exeter, for buyers, sellers, and lenders, residential and commercial. We are based in Leesburg.
Where do Leesburg deeds get recorded?
With the Loudoun Circuit Court Land Records, which sit right in downtown Leesburg because the town is the county seat. We handle the filing for you as part of closing.
My home has a Leesburg address. Is it actually in the town?
Not always. Many homes with a Leesburg mailing address sit in unincorporated Loudoun County rather than inside the Town of Leesburg, and that changes the town taxes and services. Both record at the Loudoun Circuit Court. We confirm the true jurisdiction from the exact address before closing.
What are the seller’s grantor taxes in Leesburg?
As grantor, the seller pays Virginia’s grantor’s tax of $0.50 per $500 (Va. Code 58.1-802), plus two Northern Virginia fees that apply because Loudoun County is in the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority: the WMATA Capital Fee and the Regional Congestion Relief Fee, each $0.10 per $100 (Va. Code 58.1-802.3 and 58.1-802.4). The buyer generally pays the state recordation tax of $0.25 per $100.
Can you handle HOA and condo closings in Lansdowne, Potomac Station, or the Crescent District?
Yes. The planned communities and the newer condos carry their own association documents, and we coordinate the resale certificate or condo disclosure packet and any builder requirements as part of the closing.
Do you close on the historic homes in Old Town Leesburg?
Yes. The older homes in the historic district can carry easements or older recorded covenants, and we review what is recorded against the property as part of the title work so there are no surprises at closing.
