Under Virginia law (Va. Code Ann. § 58.1-803(D)), refinance loans may qualify for a partial exemption from recording taxes, provided the original loan’s recording information is included on the security instrument. For a deeper dive into this exemption, check out our blog post here.
Our security instruments are designed to simplify compliance with this requirement. When the setting Print Virginia Partially Exempt from Recordation Tax Language (173310) is set to Yes, the exemption notice is automatically included on the following documents:
– Cx25326: 3047 VA Deed of Trust 2021
– Cx26164: FHA VA Deed of Trust 2021
– Cx512: VA Deed of Trust Second
While Virginia law does not mandate specific wording for the exemption notice, we took the opportunity during the development of our new 2021 security instruments to refine the language for improved clarity and consistency. However, we recently discovered that the notice in Cx512 VA Deed of Trust Second had not been updated to align with the revised wording used in Cx25326 and Cx26164.
To ensure uniformity across our documents, we’ve promptly updated Cx512 to match the enhanced notice language found in Cx25326 and Cx26164. This change reinforces our commitment to delivering precise, compliant, and user-friendly solutions for our clients.
These changes are available for testing on Stage & Stage 2 servers and will take effect on July 2, 2025. If you have any questions or concerns about these changes, please contact Client Support at 1.800.497.3584.
