Copy Information

Obtaining Copies of Land Records & Historic Records

In an effort to continue to provide copies to researchers while the Clerk’s Office practices social distancing, customers are encouraged to purchase copies by providing credit card information over the phone, or by mail requests.

Fee Schedule for Copies (cost per page)

Size Black & White Color
8.5 x 11 inches $0.50 $2.50
8.5 x 14 inches $0.50 $2.50
11 x 17 inches $1 $5

Certified copies cost an additional $2 per document. VA Code § 17.1-275

Note: Some of our valuable historic records are fragile and brittle which presents challenges in making copies from the paper records. In these circumstances, the Clerk will offer alternative ways to offer copies to our clients. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we preserve these valuable fragile records.
