Henrico County Tax Assessment Search: Find the Parcel, Value and Property Record

Start with Henrico County’s own Real Estate Property Search when you need a parcel number, assessed value, land or building details, sales history or other public assessment information.

The important part is knowing what to do after you find the parcel. Assessment staff handle value and property data, Treasury handles the actual tax account, GIS supplies map context, and the Circuit Court Clerk maintains recorded deeds and plats.

Quick answer

Use Henrico’s assessment database first, then route the next task

The public property-search form currently accepts GPIN, PID, street number, prefix, street name, unit, use code and description. It also links to separate residential and commercial sales searches.

Henrico’s starting screen does not provide a separate owner-name search field. If you only know an owner’s name, finding the street address, GPIN or PID first is usually faster than repeatedly trying to locate an owner box that is not on the main form.

Locate the parcel

Search GPIN, PID or a simplified property address.

Verify the assessment

Match the address, parcel IDs, land, buildings and assessment year.

Route the next task

Use Treasury for tax bills, GIS for mapping and the Clerk for deeds.

Save both parcel identifiers when they appear. A GPIN or PID is often more useful than a formatted address when you later call Assessment, compare GIS information or research a recorded document.

Official property lookup

How to search Henrico County tax assessment records

Open Henrico’s official Real Estate Property Search The live form should show GPIN, PID and street-search fields along with Use Code, Description and Sort By options.

Use GPIN or PID if you already have one Enter the parcel identifier by itself first. This avoids problems caused by street abbreviations, prefixes, suffixes or unit formatting.

For an address, start with fewer fields Enter the street number and main street-name word. Leave Prefix, Unit, Use Code and Description blank on the first attempt unless they are essential.

Review every plausible result A condominium, subdivision or larger tract can produce multiple parcel records. Compare the location and parcel identifiers rather than choosing only by a familiar street name.

Open the detailed property record Check the owner display, parcel IDs, tax district, property use, land information, improvements, transfers and assessment information available for that parcel.

Verify the parcel before acting Match the physical address and property characteristics before paying a bill, preparing an appeal or using a transfer reference to find a deed.

Save the GPIN, PID and assessment year Keep those details before leaving the database so you can use them when speaking with another Henrico office.

Portal-specific help

Henrico property-search fields explained

Use the fewest search fields needed to identify the correct parcel
Field	Best use	If the search fails
GPIN	Precise parcel lookup when the geographic parcel identifier is known.	Recheck the characters or search by physical address.
PID	Exact lookup using Henrico’s parcel identification number.	Ask whether a split or combination produced a new parcel ID.
Street #	House or building number.	Search the main street name without the number.
Prefix	Directional prefix when it is part of the County’s address.	Leave the prefix blank and search broader.
Street Name	The main road or street name.	Remove suffixes, punctuation and extra words.
Unit	Condominium and multi-unit property research.	Locate the base building address first, then narrow by unit.
Use Code	Research by Henrico property-use classification.	Remove the filter when searching one known property.
Description	An additional route when parcel or address information is incomplete.	Return to GPIN, PID or a simplified street search.
Owner name	Not offered as a dedicated field on the current main entry screen.	Find the address or parcel identifier, or contact Real Estate Assessment.

Owner-name search trap: the Sort By menu includes owner-related sorting, but the current main entry form itself does not provide a separate field where you can type an owner’s surname.

If all you know is the owner’s name “I am trying to identify a Henrico parcel associated with [owner name]. I do not have the GPIN or PID. I may have an address/deed clue of [information]. Can you help me identify the property record?”

Record decoder

What a Henrico assessment record can tell you

A detailed parcel record can contain considerably more than the current total assessment. Depending on the parcel, Henrico’s public database may display ownership, parcel identification, tax district, zoning, use code, subdivision data, transfers, land information, assessment history, building information, sketches, plats and map links.

Assessment fields worth checking before relying on the record
Record item	What it helps answer	Do not assume
GPIN / PID	Which County parcel the record describes.	That an old identifier is still active after a split or combination.
Owner display	Who is carried as owner in the assessment system.	That it replaces the recorded deed or a legal title examination.
Parcel address	The situs or physical property location.	That it is the same as the tax mailing address.
Tax district	Which taxing district is associated with the parcel.	That the base County rate is the only possible charge on every parcel.
Use code	How the property is classified for assessment purposes.	That an assessment use code is the same thing as zoning approval.
Land value	Value attributed to the land component.	That it is a private appraisal or guaranteed sale price.
Improvements	Value attributed to buildings and other taxable improvements.	That every improvement shown is automatically permit-compliant.
Total assessment	Henrico’s assessed fair-market value for taxation.	That this is the amount of tax you owe.
Sale / deed reference	Which transaction may have transferred the property.	That the assessment page replaces the actual recorded instrument.
Map / parcel geometry	Where the tax parcel lies in relation to surrounding property.	That the mapped line is an exact surveyed boundary.

Henrico’s own online-data disclaimer says non-confidential assessment information is public but advises users to consult Real Estate Division records for official information when accuracy is important. Read Henrico’s real-estate data disclaimer.

Comparable sales

Henrico provides separate residential and commercial sales searches

The assessment application includes distinct sales-search tools. The residential search can narrow transactions using criteria such as sales price, sales date, year built, square footage, stories, bedrooms, neighborhood, subdivision, style and use code.

Start with the subject parcel Record its neighborhood, use, approximate size, age, style and other characteristics before looking for sales.

Open the appropriate sales search Use Residential Sales Search for residential comparison work and Commercial Sales Search for commercial research.

Narrow only enough to find meaningful comparisons Avoid filters so restrictive that they hide potentially useful nearby sales.

Check the transaction itself A sale price is more useful when the property and transaction are genuinely comparable to the subject parcel.

Explain material differences Lot size, condition, square footage, age, location and amenities can make two nearby properties poor comparisons.

Understand the assessment

Henrico reassesses real estate annually at 100% of fair market value

Henrico’s Real Estate Assessment Division reviews real property effective January 1 each year. The County states that real estate is assessed at 100% of fair market value.

For residential property, sales comparison is a central valuation method. Henrico considers differences in characteristics such as size, quality, condition, location and amenities. Commercial property may also require analysis of replacement cost, rental income, occupancy and investment-market information.

Check the underlying property facts before arguing about the value

Correct GPIN and PID

Correct assessment year

Acreage or lot size

Building square footage

Property use classification

Building age and condition

Garage and outbuildings

Recent construction or demolition

Transfer information

Comparable prior-year sales

Assessment notice versus tax bill: Henrico says reassessment notices begin mailing to owners in February. The County also explains that tax bills are typically sent to the mortgage company when the property has an escrow arrangement. Do not treat those two documents as the same notice.

2026 tax estimate

Henrico’s base real-estate tax rate is $0.83 per $100 of assessed value

For a simple base-rate estimate, use: assessed value ÷ 100 × $0.83.

Bills and payment

Henrico real-estate taxes are billed in two installments

2026 assessment appeal deadline — passed Regular assessment appeals were due April 1, 2026.

First-half real-estate tax — passed Henrico’s regular first installment is due June 5.

Land Use regular filing date New Land Use applications and annual revalidations are due November 1.

Second-half 2026 real-estate tax December 5 falls on Saturday in 2026, so the County’s published weekend rule moves the deadline to Monday, December 7.

Land Use late filing Qualifying late applications/revalidations may be filed through December 15 with the applicable late filing fee.

Electronic payment timing

An electronic payment that reaches the County after the deadline can be late even if you initiated it earlier. Do not wait until the final day.

Late tax rule: Henrico states that a 10% late-payment penalty applies after the due date. Interest at a 4% annual rate begins on the unpaid balance on the first day of the month following the due date.

Processing-fee warning: Henrico’s current payment pages are not completely consistent. Its general Payment Options and Online Payments pages state that there are no processing fees, while the Online Tax Bills page and an older cashier page still reference a nominal service fee. Check the live Paymentus checkout screen before submitting payment.

Delinquent account referred to TACS? Henrico instructs taxpayers not to pay the County directly after a delinquent account has been referred to Taxing Authority Consulting Services. Follow the collection notice or verify the status with Treasury.

Assessment challenge

The regular 2026 Henrico assessment-appeal deadline has passed

Henrico’s current appeal service states that the application is unavailable until the next year’s assessment cycle. By law, a regular current-year assessment appeal must be filed by April 1.

Henrico identifies three core grounds for formal reconsideration: the value is above or below fair market value, the assessment is based on incorrect property information, or the assessment is inequitable compared with similar properties.

Evidence that addresses those issues directly

Correct measurements or floor plans

Photos documenting condition

Evidence of incorrect property characteristics

Prior-year comparable sales

A professional appraisal when useful

Clear comparison with similarly situated parcels

Missed April 1? Do not rely on an old form as though it can create a timely 2026 appeal. Contact Real Estate Assessment about the current record problem and prepare early for the next assessment cycle.

Review the new assessment notice promptly Check the parcel characteristics before focusing only on the total value.

Identify the reason for appeal Be specific about incorrect facts, market value or inequity with similar property.

Collect evidence before filing Gather relevant prior-year comparable sales and documentation supporting the requested correction.

Use the current County application Do not reuse an earlier year’s appeal form without checking the new filing instructions.

File before the displayed April deadline Keep a copy of the application and supporting evidence.

Henrico’s current appeal page lists 804-501-4300, option 4, and the Real Estate Assessment office at 4301 E. Parham Road, Room 134, as appeal-help channels during the filing cycle.

Property-tax relief

Henrico’s REAP and RECAP programs solve different tax problems

REAP — tax exemption

Henrico’s Real Estate Advantage Program provides qualifying older or permanently and totally disabled homeowners a real-estate tax exemption subject to the program’s financial and occupancy rules.

The detailed County page is currently labeled “Information as of 2025” and lists maximum total income of $75,000, maximum net worth of $500,000 and a maximum exemption of $3,200.

RECAP — tax-bill cap

Henrico’s Real Estate Cap Program caps a qualifying participant’s real-estate tax bill at the amount paid when entering the program, subject to continued eligibility.

The current RECAP page lists household taxable income up to $125,000 and net worth up to $750,000, with the qualifying dwelling excluded as described by the County.

Do not mix filing years. Henrico’s detailed REAP page still labels its published limits as 2025 information. Verify the current application or call 804-501-4263 before relying on those numbers for a later filing year.

Land Use Program

Qualifying Henrico land can be assessed by use rather than ordinary market value

Henrico Land Use rules to check before filing
Item	County rule	Why it matters
Agricultural land	Generally at least 5 acres.	Use requirements must also be satisfied.
Horticultural land	Generally at least 5 acres.	Qualifying production rules still apply.
Open-space land	Generally at least 5 acres.	The parcel must satisfy applicable open-space standards.
Forest land	20-acre minimum.	Forest eligibility uses a larger minimum acreage.
New application fee	$20 plus $0.10 per acre.	The filing fee is non-refundable.
Annual revalidation	Required; regular revalidation has no charge.	Do not assume participation automatically continues without filing.
Regular deadline	November 1.	Prepare the parcel documentation before the deadline.
Late filing	Through December 15 with a $20 plus $0.10-per-acre late fee.	A limited late-filing option remains after November 1.
Rollback taxes	Current year and up to five prior years when the property no longer qualifies, plus interest.	A sale, division or change in use can create a significant tax consequence.

Two local rules worth checking before a transaction: Henrico says a Land Use application will not be accepted when delinquent taxes are owed on the parcel seeking qualification, and an owner must reapply after a parcel split when the remaining acreage is intended to continue in the program.

Henrico also states that an owner who changes enrolled land to a non-qualifying use is responsible for notifying the County within 60 days.

Recorded land records

Use the Circuit Court Clerk when the question is the deed or recorded plat

The assessment record is useful for locating the parcel and finding transfer clues. It is not a substitute for the recorded deed when legal ownership, easements or other recorded rights matter.

Identify the parcel in the assessment database Save the GPIN/PID, physical address, owner display and any deed or transfer reference.

Look for a deed book/page or instrument number A document reference can make the land-record search or copy request much more precise.

Choose the Clerk access method Use the public Record Room, request a copy or review the secure remote-access option if appropriate.

Read the recorded document itself Use the actual deed or plat when the question concerns legal title, easements or recorded property rights.

10 specific answers

Henrico County tax assessment search FAQs

Where can I search Henrico County tax assessment records?

Use Henrico County’s official Real Estate Property Search at realestate.henrico.gov. The main form accepts GPIN, PID and property-address fields, along with Use Code and Description.

Can I search Henrico property records by owner name?

The current main property-search entry screen does not provide a dedicated owner-name field. If you only know the owner, first recover the property address, GPIN or PID from another reliable record or contact Real Estate Assessment.

What is the difference between GPIN and PID in Henrico’s property database?

Both are parcel identifiers used in Henrico’s real-estate systems. Saving both when they appear makes it easier to match the same property across assessment, GIS, tax and land-record research.

How often does Henrico reassess real estate?

Henrico reassesses real property annually effective January 1. The County states that real estate is assessed at 100% of fair market value.

What is Henrico County’s current real-estate tax rate?

The current base real-estate tax rate is $0.83 per $100 of assessed value. Use the actual Treasury bill before paying because parcel-specific adjustments or other charges can affect the amount due.

When is Henrico County’s second real-estate tax installment due in 2026?

The regular date is December 5. Because December 5, 2026 falls on a Saturday, Henrico’s weekend rule moves the deadline to the next business day, Monday, December 7, 2026.

What happens if my Henrico real-estate tax payment is late?

Henrico states that a 10% late-payment penalty applies after the due date. Interest at a 4% annual rate begins on the unpaid balance on the first day of the month following the due date.

Can I still file a regular appeal of my 2026 Henrico assessment?

The regular 2026 deadline was April 1 and has passed. Henrico’s current appeal page states that the appeal application is unavailable until the next year’s assessment cycle.

What should I do if Henrico’s assessment record has incorrect property information?

First verify that you opened the correct parcel. Then document the specific error and contact the Real Estate Assessment Division. Henrico’s property-search page also provides Real_Estate_Comments@henrico.gov for comments or corrections.

Where can I get a Henrico deed or recorded plat?

Use the Henrico Circuit Court Clerk’s land records. The public Record Room is at 4309 E. Parham Road, and Land Records can be reached at 804-501-4249. A deed book/page or instrument number makes a request easier.
