Arlington County Disabled Veteran Vehicle Tax Exemption
Arlington exempts one automobile or one pickup from personal property tax for a veteran with a 100% service-connected, permanent, and total disability, including individual unemployability.
Also called: car tax, personal property, vehicle tax, Arlington car tax, TDIU.
For: Veteran or service member.
Where it applies
Written for the jurisdictions listed here.
- Arlington County, VACounty
The Commissioner of Revenue applies the statewide one-vehicle exemption. One automobile or one pickup truck, owned and used primarily by or for the veteran, is exempt from the county personal property tax. A vehicle owned by the spouse qualifies when it is used by or for the veteran. The county form covers a 100% service-connected, permanent, and total disability and a total disability rating, and the form is titled to include individual unemployability.
Attach the VA letter that shows the veteran is classified as 100% permanently disabled because of service. If the vehicle changes, the veteran has to apply again. The Commissioner checks the vehicle with DMV. Email the form to [email protected] or mail it to the Commissioner of Revenue.
A leased vehicle does not qualify for a personal property tax exemption. This exemption is separate from the state Personal Property Tax Relief Act credit that reduces the tax on ordinary personal-use vehicles.
Thresholds
| Gate | Rule |
|---|---|
| 100% permanent and total | One owned automobile or pickup used mainly by or for the veteran. Arlington accepts a 100% permanent and total rating and individual unemployability on this form. One path is a VA rating of 100% that is service-connected, permanent, and total. |
| Permanent and total on the 100% path | The 100% rating has to be permanent and total. A 100% rating VA has not made permanent does not meet this path. |
| Individual unemployability | The other path is a total disability rating based on individual unemployability that VA has also rated permanent and total. |
| Permanent and total on the unemployability path | Individual unemployability qualifies on this path only when VA has rated the disability permanent and total. |
