TextTax Liens FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The Code of Virginia does not authorize tax lien certificate sales. State law does, however, authorize the sale of delinquent properties at public auction. The Department of Tax Administration (DTA) uses a wide array of collection tools and the County has an outstanding collection rate. If real estate must be sold to collect delinquent taxes, any tax sale would be handled by the Office of the County Attorney.
DTA maintains a bidders' mailing list for notification in the event real estate must be taken to auction for the collection of taxes. If you want to be added to the list, please send your name and mailing address to the Revenue Collection Division at dtarcd@fairfaxcounty.gov. You will be notified should an auction be scheduled.
