Hampton Real Estate Tax Freeze or Deferral for Permanent and Total Disability
Hampton offers a permanently and totally disabled owner a freeze or a deferral of real estate tax, not an exemption, with household income up to $67,000 and assets up to $200,000.
Also called: tax freeze, tax deferral, tax relief, property tax, elderly and disabled.
For: Veteran or service member.
Where it applies
Written for the jurisdictions listed here.
The Commissioner of the Revenue runs Hampton's relief for owners who are 65 or older, or permanently and totally disabled, by December 31 of the prior year, and who owned and occupied the home by January 1. Both options are a freeze or a deferral of the tax rather than an exemption, at household income up to $67,000 and assets up to $200,000. Income counts every source and every resident, less $7,000 for each resident other than the spouse. Assets exclude the home and up to 10 acres.
It is not a VA rating of 100% service-connected, and a disabled veteran who does not meet that test can use it. Renewal applications go out in May, first-time applicants apply in person, and the deadline is August 31.
Thresholds
| Gate | Rule |
|---|---|
| Permanent and total disability | The owner is permanently and totally disabled, or 65, by December 31 of the prior year. A VA rating alone is not the test. |
| Income and assets | Household income up to $67,000 and assets up to $200,000, excluding the home and up to 10 acres. The relief is a freeze or a deferral. |
