                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

TITLE INSURANCE FOR COUNTY REAL ESTATE (§ 15.2-728)

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, whenever any county purchases real
estate for which the consideration paid exceeds $1,000, the county, in lieu of
having the title examined and approved by an attorney-at-law, may purchase an
insurance policy which insures the county&#8217;s interest in the title to the
property from a company which is authorized to issue such policies in the
Commonwealth. Evidence of such insurance shall be filed with the clerk for the
circuit court of the county along with the recorded deed or other papers by
which the title is conveyed.
