Property lines in King George County, Virginia
Parcel boundaries on the King George County viewer are drawn to keep tax accounts straight, so small offsets from the true line are expected. Virginia is a metes-and-bounds state. Rural deeds in King George County describe boundaries with bearings, distances and landmarks rather than a square grid, so parcel lines are often irregular. For rural ground near Fairview Beach, a recorded survey or a new one is the only reliable source for the true line.
Acreage and vacant lot search
A practical way to find vacant parcels near Dahlgren Center:
- Follow the roads out of Dahlgren with aerials on and mark every tract without a rooftop.
- Open the record for each empty tract near Dahlgren Center and note whether the owner's mailing address is outside King George County.
- Check that the tract touches a public road; a landlocked lot near Dahlgren Center can be hard to finance and build on.
- Line up the assessed land values of a few neighboring tracts near Fairview Beach to sanity-check an asking price.
- Last, call the King George County planning or health office about permits, septic and floodplain before you commit.
