Virginia questions, answered straight

Who keeps land records in Virginia?

The Clerk of the Circuit Court for each county and independent city. That office — not a title company and not any website — is the only authority on its own records and its own alert program.

Is the alert in Virginia really free?

Yes. Every service in the table above is a government program offered at no charge by the recording office or its chosen platform. If a page ever asks you to pay to enroll in a county alert, you are on the wrong page — come back to the official link here.

Does enrolling mean DeedWatch monitors my deed?

No. DeedWatch is a directory and a guide. You enroll with the Virginia office or its platform directly, and that program — not us — sends the alerts. We never see your recordings.

What if my Virginia county has no alert?

Use the deed self-check routine: pull your own record on a set schedule, keep your tax mailing address current, and know the first steps if a filing ever surprises you. The Setup Kit writes the whole routine out, county by county.

Found your Virginia service? Set it up completely.

The Setup Kit covers what a directory listing can't: enrolling every version of your name, every property in every county, the deed self-check, and the first-72-hours playbook. One $39 payment — the Virginia alert itself stays free.
