Article III of Chapter 12 of the Culpeper County Code relieves real estate tax on the home and one acre of an owner who is 65 or older or permanently and totally disabled. Household income cannot exceed $60,000, with $6,500 of each relative other than a spouse left out, and net worth cannot exceed $300,000, excluding the home and up to ten acres. Section 12-35 sets the relief from a table of income and net worth: 100% with income under $24,000 and net worth under $60,000, down to 10% at $48,001 to $60,000 of income and $220,001 to $300,000 of net worth, never more than $1,500 a year. The same table's heading says net worth "must be $240k or less", which conflicts with the $300,000 in section 12-33 and on the county's page. A disabled owner gives a certification from the Social Security Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs, or the Railroad Retirement Board, or two doctors' affidavits. A full application is filed every third year with a one-page affidavit in between; current participants renew by April 1 and first-time applicants file by December 31. It is not a VA rating of 100% service-connected, and a disabled veteran who does not meet that test can use it.
