What Arlington sellers
should know
-
Deferred senior taxes come due on a sale
Arlington's Real Estate Tax Relief Program offers exemption or deferral to homeowners 65 and older or totally and permanently disabled, within income and asset limits. A deferred balance waits without penalty or interest until the property changes ownership, so a sale or an inherited home can bring it due. The county's Real Estate Tax Relief office can confirm what is owed.
-
Flood risk reaches past the FEMA map
The county says every property has some flood vulnerability and that more than 40% of flood claims come from outside FEMA floodplains. FEMA's maps for Arlington were updated in 2023. You can check your zone on FEMA's Map Service Center or the county's mapping site, which helps when buyers ask.
-
Military moves shape the calendar here
The county's military and veterans page lists the Pentagon and Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall, along with Fort Belvoir and other nearby bases. If you or your buyer are moving on military orders, build the report date into your closing plans.

Frequently asked questions
How fast can you close in Arlington?
When a cash sale is the right fit, we can close in as little as 7 days, or on the date you choose. Listing with an agent usually takes longer: Arlington homes have recently sold in about 42 days, plus time to close.
What is the property tax in Arlington?
Arlington County's 2026 real estate tax rate is $1.053 per $100 of assessed value. If you're 65 or older or totally and permanently disabled, ask the county about its Real Estate Tax Relief Program. Any deferred balance comes due when the property changes ownership, so it matters when you sell.
Do you buy homes that have flooded?
We'll look at any Arlington home, including one with past water in the basement. The county says more than 40% of flood claims come from outside FEMA floodplains, and you can check your flood zone on the county's mapping site or FEMA's Map Service Center. Tell us what you know and we'll show you both options.
