Inheriting property in Alexandria can be a bittersweet experience. While it represents a legacy, it also brings taxes, maintenance, and the complexities of the Virginia probate system. If you find yourself saying, “I inherited a house I don’t want,” you are likely dealing with the stress of managing a vacant property in Rosemont or Potomac Yard from afar.
The Alexandria Probate Process
To sell an inherited home, the estate must go through probate at the Alexandria Circuit Court on King Street. The executor must “qualify” and receive authority to sell the real estate. During this time, the house still costs money. With Alexandria’s real estate tax rate at $1.135 per $100 of assessed value, a $1 million home in Old Town West costs over $11,000 a year just in taxes—not including utilities, insurance, and HOA fees.
