At qualification the Clerk collects a Virginia state probate tax of about 10 cents per $100 of estate value (estates of $15,000 or less are exempt) (Va. Code 58.1-1712), an optional local probate tax of up to one-third of the state probate tax amount, plus clerk qualification and recording fees. Roanoke County's official Estates & Wills page describes the state probate tax (about $1.00 per $1,000, i.e. 10 cents per $100) plus a local probate tax (about 3.33 cents per $100). The Commissioner of Accounts charges separate fees for reviewing the inventory and the accounts. Exact current local probate tax, qualification, and recording amounts were not captured in this pass - verify current local amounts with the Roanoke County Circuit Court and the 23rd Judicial Circuit Commissioner of Accounts before relying on a figure.
