What Hanover County sellers
should know
-
Tax relief for older and disabled owners
The Commissioner of the Revenue runs Hanover's Real Estate Tax Relief for owners who live in the home and are 65 or older or totally and permanently disabled, within the county's income and net worth limits. Relief is capped at $3,500 a year and applications are due each March 1. If you or a parent receive it, ask the Commissioner's office how a sale affects the current year.
-
Most Hanover homes were built before 2000
The county's comprehensive plan counts about 70% of homes as built before 2000 and notes that older houses are often less energy-efficient and may lack the layout today's buyers want. Before pricing, decide which updates matter to buyers and which ones simply cost you money.
-
A tight rental market affects homes with tenants
The same plan reports that average asking rents rose 17% between late 2021 and late 2022 while rental vacancy fell below 1%. If you are selling a house with a tenant in it, plan early around the lease, showings and move-out timing, because your tenant may have few places to go.

Frequently asked questions
How fast can you close in Hanover County?
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: Hanover County homes have recently sold in about 22 days, plus time to close.
Do you buy older homes that need work?
We'll look at any Hanover County home, including older houses that need repairs. The county's comprehensive plan says about 70% of homes here were built before 2000, and that some older owners find aging homes hard to keep up, so some would rather sell as-is than fix up first.

Hanover County's real property tax rate for 2026 is $0.81 per $100 of assessed value, unchanged since 2007.
