Local to Prince George County
A Tri-Cities county shaped by the post.
Prince George sits just south of the James River in the Greater Richmond region, part of the Tri-Cities alongside Hopewell, Petersburg, and Colonial Heights. It is a county of around 43,000 residents across roughly 265 square miles of land, and it splits in two. The northwestern corner, next to Hopewell and Petersburg and home to Fort Gregg-Adams, is the populated, growing side, with newer subdivisions and a steady flow of military families. The rest of the county is rural, given over to farms and timber. Home values sit a little above the regional middle, with a county median near $293,000 and recent sales running higher.
That mix is what shapes a closing here. A newer subdivision near the post, often bought by a service member relocating on short notice, is a different file from a working farm or a wooded tract in the south. Deeds for Prince George property record with the Clerk of the Circuit Court at the county seat, in records that reach back to 1700. Our guide to what happens at a Virginia closing and our first-time home buyer guide walk through each step.

What we handle on a Prince George file.
Title search and exam

Recording and policy
We record the deed with the Prince George Circuit Court and issue your title insurance policy.
Closing costs in Prince George County
What recording a deed costs here.
Prince George 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 Prince George 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.
Why Prince George clients choose Prime
Attorney-led, independent, and local.
Attorney-led
Two real estate attorneys oversee your file, so if a survey question or a rural boundary line comes up, you have legal judgment on it, not a checklist.
Military and relocation
With Fort Gregg-Adams in the county, many buyers and sellers are on military timelines, often moving from out of state. We are used to VA loans, tight closing windows, and remote signings, and we keep those moves on track.
Land and acreage
Most of the county is farms, woods, and timberland. We handle the surveys, easements, and rights of way that come with rural property, and the well and septic details that go with it.
Commercial and the corridor
Along the Interstate 295 and Route 460 corridors and the growth near the post, we handle commercial closings alongside homes. See our commercial services.

Prince George questions
What people ask us.
Do you handle closings throughout Prince George County?
Yes. We close across the entire county, from the subdivisions near Fort Gregg-Adams and the Tri-Cities edge to Disputanta, Carson, and the rural south, for buyers, sellers, investors, and lenders, residential and commercial.
I am a service member moving to Fort Gregg-Adams. Can you handle a closing on a military timeline?
Yes. A lot of our Prince George closings involve service members relocating, often from out of state and on short notice. We are used to VA loans, tight closing windows, and remote or mail-away signings, and we keep the move on schedule.
Where do Prince George County deeds get recorded?
With the Clerk of the Circuit Court for Prince George County, at the county seat on Courts Drive. The county has its own circuit court, with land records reaching back to 1700, and we handle the filing for you. The court requires a cover sheet for land records, which we prepare.
Does Prince George County have any incorporated towns?
No. Prince George has no incorporated towns, so the entire county records its deeds in one place, at the county Circuit Court. The county seat, also called Prince George, is the community around the courthouse.
I am buying a farm or wooded land in the south of the county. Does that change closing?
It adds a few things to check. Larger rural and timber 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 Prince George?
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 Prince George is not in Northern Virginia, the regional WMATA and congestion fees do not apply.
