Summary answer: On a $600,000 home in Manassas, expect buyer closing costs of roughly $12,000–$18,000 (about 2–3% of purchase price), before prepaid items like taxes and insurance. Worth noting: $600,000 sits above Manassas's citywide median of $503,000-$573,000, so this scenario applies more to the area's single-family inventory (averaging around $670,000) than the typical purchase.

Why Manassas's city tax rate affects your prepaid escrow
As an independent city, Manassas has its own real estate tax rate of $1.26 per $100 of assessed value ($1.07 base plus $0.19 fire/rescue levy) — meaningfully higher than nearby Prince William County, which is worth factoring into your prepaid escrow at closing.
