If you live in Henrico County, or you own property there that you need to protect, your Virginia homestead deed must be recorded with the Land Records Division of the Henrico County Circuit Court Clerk’s Office. Virginia’s homestead exemption rules are strict about form and content, and a deed that isn’t prepared correctly can cost you the protection you’re counting on.

Henrico County Filing Fee
The total fee to record a homestead deed of 10 pages or fewer in Henrico County is currently $29 — combining the base state recording fee (Va. Code § 17.1-275, $18), the statewide Technology Trust Fund fee (Va. Code § 17.1-279, $8), and Henrico County’s local recording fee. Longer documents cost more. Fees can change, so confirm the current total with the Land Records Division before you file.
Before You File in Henrico County
Henrico’s Record Room stops accepting documents for recording at 3:30 p.m., thirty minutes before the office itself closes, so plan to arrive earlier than the general office hours suggest. Copies from the Record Room are $0.50 per page.
We recommend calling the Land Records Division or checking their website before you go, since procedures and fees can change.
