Our home county
Loudoun is the county we know best.
Prime Title and Escrow is based in Leesburg, the Loudoun County seat, so this is the county we close in most. Loudoun is the third most populous county in Virginia and one of the highest-income counties in the nation, and it runs from the tech corridor of Ashburn and Sterling in the east to the horse and wine country of the west. In March 2026 the county’s median sale price ran near $751,000 according to Redfin figures drawn from Bright MLS.
Deeds for property here record with the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Loudoun County, right in Leesburg, and the county sits inside the Northern Virginia tax footprint, so the seller’s grantor charges look different from the rest of the Commonwealth. From Data Center Alley in the east to the seven incorporated towns spread across the county, Loudoun closings come in every shape. If you are new to the process, our guide to what happens at a Virginia closing walks through each step, and you can see the full regions we serve as well.

Closing costs in Loudoun County
What the county adds to your closing.
Loudoun County 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, and with a county median above $750,000, Loudoun figures can be meaningful. 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 Loudoun County 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
