Fauquier County,VA Tax Parcel Information for download.

This map contains information on the free individuals in Fauquier County, Virginia during the mid-1800s. The map is broken up into towns in Fauquier County and parcels from the 1861 Land Tax Map. The greyed out sections are parcels from the 1861 Land Tax Map that do not have a free individual living on the property. Thank you to Wynne Saffer for providing much of the current information used to create the 1861 Land Tax Map. As for the information currently available, it is important to understand how information is displayed. Some of the parcels have associated data that will be displayed in the table on the left side of the page. Many of the parcels have multiple entries. There are some entries where the residence could be in multiple locations. This is due to the land owner they are listed under having owned multiple properties. In these instances all associated parcels will be highlighted, since we are not sure which they were actually living on at the time.It is important to note that this information was compiled and digitized by people and mistakes can happen. There may be some inconsistencies or errors in the information, and we apologize for those mistakes and will work to rectify any issues as quickly and efficiently as possible. If you would like to report any issues that you find, there is a user report survey available on one of the following pages.

Loudoun County was founded in 1757. Loudoun's boundary with Maryland is the mean low water mark of the Potomac River on the Virginia side; it has not been surveyed. Loudoun's boundary with Prince William County is the Bull Run Creek. The border has not been modified for recent surveys. Individual plats along the Potomac and Bull Run Rivers have not resulted in a change in the border along those rivers- since measurements of the waters edge vary seasonally and the County Boundary needs to be seamless and constant. Many decades ago tax commissioners from surrounding jurisdictions assigned parcels to one jurisdiction or another rather than splitting parcels. Currently there is a mix of parcels split by a County Boundary, parcels taxed entirely in Loudoun, and portions of parcels within the County but taxed by another jurisdiction. The Office of the Commissioner of the Revenue dictates how these parcels are taxed, as do other jurisdictions. In 1957, the boundary with Fairfax County was re-established and finalized. The boundary with Fauquier County was surveyed and monumented in 1966. The boundary with Clarke County was surveyed in 1989, and the boundary survey with Jefferson County West Virginia was completed in 1998. The West Virginia, Fairfax, Fauquier, and Clarke boundary arcs were created by generating coverages from the monument coordinates using the generate command.
