Henrico Land Records and Recording

Land files are a deep well of White Pages data in Henrico County. They tie a name to a parcel, a sale date, and a price. To record a land paper, the document must be allowed by law and meet state rules. Recording hours run from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. All papers must be originals that are signed and notarized with the seal in place.

Henrico Real Estate Assessment Division

The Real Estate Assessment Division is part of the Henrico Department of Finance. It handles the review and reassessment of all real property as of January 1 each year. Title 58.1-3201 of the Code of Virginia sets the bar at 100% of fair market value. That is the price a parcel would sell for in a normal sale today.

The Real Estate Assessment Division page shows how the office runs each cycle. Staff look at thousands of real estate transfers each year. Sales data is pulled from recorded deeds, buyers, sellers, and real estate pros. A neighborhood is picked for new value when its assessment to sales ratio is well below or above 100%.

Three valuation routes are weighed: sales comparison, cost, and income. The sales comparison route is used for most homes. Notices of new value go to all owners in February. Formal appeals must be filed by April 1. The county offers a tax cut for qualified disabled veterans and surviving spouses. Call 804-501-4306 for that program.
