VA Approved Condo Search Tool

Updated September 2026

Before using a VA loan to purchase a condominium, confirm whether the condominium project appears in the VA’s approved-condominium database. Use the official VA Condo Report to search by state and condominium name.

If your first search produces no result, try the condominium’s legal project name, a shortened version of the name, proeprty address, or a broader search using only the state. A condominium not appearing in your initial search should be reviewed with a VA-approved lender before you assume the property is ineligible.

How to Search the VA-Approved Condo List

  1. Open the official VA Condo Report.
  2. Select the state where the condominium is located.
  3. Enter the condominium or project name.
  4. Select Submit.
  5. Open the result and review its approval status and any accompanying notes.

To see all results within a state, select the state, leave the condominium-name field blank and submit the search.

FAQs for VA Condo Loans

  • Where can I find the VA-approved condo list? The VA Approved Condo Search Tool can be found here: https://lgy.va.gov/lgyhub/condo-report
  • What does “accepted without conditions” mean? “Accepted without conditions” means the VA has approved the condominium project without listing any special conditions that must be satisfied for VA financing.
  • What if a condominium doesn’t appear in the VA database? A condominium that does not appear in an initial search should not automatically be considered permanently ineligible. The project may be listed under a different legal name, and in some cases a lender can investigate whether project approval can be pursued. Consult a VA-approved lender before ruling out VA financing.
  • Can I obtain VA financing for a condominium that isn’t currently approved? Not immediately. The condominium project must be approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs before a VA loan on an individual unit can close. If the project is not currently approved, a VA-approved lender may be able to submit the project to the VA for approval. This typically requires cooperation from the condominium association and submission of documents such as the declaration, bylaws, budget, financial statements, insurance information and other project records. Approval is not guaranteed and can take a long time, so the process should begin as early as possible.
  • Is VA condo approval the same as FHA condo approval? No. VA and FHA condo approvals are administered separately and have different requirements. A condominium approved for FHA financing is not automatically approved for VA financing, and VA approval does not automatically establish FHA eligibility. The project’s status should be checked separately in both the VA and FHA databases. FHA may also permit single-unit approval in certain projects that are not fully FHA approved, while VA generally requires approval of the entire condominium project.
  • How do I search all VA-approved condos in Maryland, Virginia or Washington, DC? Open the official VA Condo Report, select Maryland, Virginia or District of Columbia from the state dropdown menu, leave the condominium-name field blank, and select Submit. The search should display the condominium projects listed in the VA database for that jurisdiction. Search each state or Washington, DC separately. Always review the project’s status and notes, because appearing in the results does not necessarily mean the project is currently approved without conditions.

Video Transcript

The following is the original transcript of the video. The updated guidance above should be used if the VA website or approval procedures have changed since the video was recorded.

Hello, I wanted to show you a video on how to use the VA approved condominium search tool.

Why check the VA Approved Condo Search Tool?

To get a VA loan on a condominium, that condominium has got to be on the VA-approved condo list.

How do I search for a VA approved condo?

So you see the URL up here. And I’ll include that as a hyperlink in the text that I put below the video. But there’s only two things that you need to put in here to search. Click your state, let’s click District of Columbia. And let’s put in the name of the condominium, 1010 Massachusetts Avenue, Northwest. I happened to know it’s VA approved. I’m going to abbreviate 1010 Mass. When you’re doing a search, sometimes it’s good to abbreviate if it’s a long name. And then you just click “Submit.” That’s it. So State, Condo Name, and you click Submit.

And now we’ve got a return. But we got to see what the notes are. You click the plus sign, “Status accepted without conditions”. Wow, so this VA request goes back to June of 2014. It says, “The review is completed July of 2014.” No other notes. So I can only assume that this VA approval is still ongoing and current. So there’s times you’re going to need to speak to a lender, who may need to really make sure that the VA approval is still current.

How do I do a broader search?

I want to go back to the original home page and show you something else. Let’s say you want to see every single VA-approved condo. Let’s stick with the District of Columbia. All you do is type in the state or click the state, that’s it. Click Submit, don’t enter anything else. Now, we’ve got a laundry list of many different condominiums. As you can see in the District, that are VA-approved for VA financing.

I want to go back to the home page, let’s pick Maryland. No, let’s stick with DC. Let’s type in, it’s a condominium called the Flower Mill Condominiums. Let’s search on that, you click Submit. Okay, “No condos were found that matched the search criteria.” So that’s telling me that the Flower Mill Condominium is not on the VA-approved condo list. So unfortunately you cannot get VA financing in that building. You’ll have to consider conventional or see if it’s FHA-approved, which I addressed in another video.
