Recording Details

Formatting Requirements
Virginia does not have any statewide recording standards. Individuals should check with their county clerk to determine county formatting requirements (e.g., Fairfax County).
Many counties require a cover sheet to be submitted with the quitclaim deed.[3] Individuals can use the Virginia Land Record Cover Sheet – Generator to create a cover sheet, except for Fairfax County residents, who must use the Fairfax Circuit Court Coversheet Generator.
