What Herndon sellers
should know
-
Historic District changes start with a form
If your house is in the Herndon Historic District, exterior changes begin with the town's Historic District Property Modification Form. Town staff decide whether the work is exempt, can be approved by staff, or must go to the Historic District Review Board. Leave time for that step if you plan repairs or upgrades before listing.
-
Town help with repairs before you sell
Herndon's Neighborhood Improvement Program helps low and moderate income homeowners with work like roof and wood rot repairs, lead paint testing and remediation, and water heater replacement. Eligibility depends on household income, and the town says it may be able to help owners who have received a Notice of Violation.
-
Deferred county taxes come due at sale
Fairfax County handles tax relief for Herndon owners who are 65 or older or permanently disabled. Besides relief, the county offers a tax deferral, and deferred taxes plus interest must be repaid when the property is sold, the owner dies, or it changes hands in a nonqualified transfer. Ask the county's tax relief office for the payoff figure before closing.

Frequently asked questions
How fast can you close in Herndon?
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: Herndon homes have recently sold in about 35 days, plus time to close.
What is the property tax in Herndon?
Herndon homeowners pay the Town of Herndon rate of $0.27 per $100 of assessed value plus Fairfax County's 2026 base rate of $1.12, about $1.39 per $100 in all, on one Fairfax County bill due July 28 and December 5. If you're 65 or older or permanently and totally disabled, ask Fairfax County about its tax relief program.
Can I sell an inherited home in Herndon that needs work?
Yes. We buy Herndon homes as-is, so you don't have to fix anything first. If the owner was in Fairfax County's tax deferral program, deferred taxes are due when the home is sold or within one year after the last qualified owner's death, so it helps to ask the county early.
