Where it applies
Written for the jurisdictions listed here.
- Franklin County, VACounty
Section 20-18 of the Franklin County Code relieves real estate tax on the dwelling and up to five acres of an owner who is 65 or older or permanently and totally disabled. Combined income of everyone living in the home cannot exceed $38,000, with the first $3,500 of each relative other than a spouse left out, and net worth cannot exceed $110,000, excluding the home and five acres. Relief comes from a table of income and net worth: 90% with income up to $12,000 and net worth up to $20,000, falling to 10% at the top of both scales. Apply every year by May 1, or by May 31 for a first-time or hardship applicant given an extension.
It is not a VA rating of 100% service-connected, and a disabled veteran who does not meet that test can use it.
