Find a property owner in Fairfax County, Virginia
Fairfax County takes in Fairfax and the surrounding area. In Virginia, deeds are recorded by the circuit court clerk of each county or independent city, and property is assessed by the city or county assessor. Those offices give you the owner of record and mailing address one parcel at a time; for a whole list, an owner-data tool returns owners, phones (DNC flagged) and emails in one pass.

- The mailing address (often different from the property location for absentee owners)
- Assessed value and tax history
- Property characteristics (lot size, year built where applicable, square footage)
- A link to the recorded deed in most counties
