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.
