Where it applies
Written for the jurisdictions listed here.
Section 74-103(a) of the Chesapeake City Code exempts from the city vehicle license fee any vehicle owned by a person in active military service who is in the city solely because of military orders and whose legal residence is in another state. The owner still has to show the Commissioner of the Revenue proof of the exemption, and has to tell the office within 30 days if the status changes.
For disabled veterans the city code goes only as far as state law: it exempts the vehicles section 46.2-755 exempts, which is one vehicle of a veteran with Disabled Veteran plates and the DMV disabled veteran exemption.
