Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

Hanover County, VACounty

Hanover's real estate tax relief is a discount on the tax on the house and up to 10 acres for an owner who is 65 or older, or totally and permanently disabled, and lives on the property. The amount follows a sliding scale on combined household income, multiplied by the qualifying owners' share of ownership, up to $3,500 a year. Gross combined income, including relatives other than the spouse who live there, cannot exceed $60,000, and net worth cannot exceed $400,000, excluding the house and up to 10 acres. A disabled applicant can certify the disability with a statement from the Railroad Retirement Board, Social Security, or VA, or two physicians' affidavits. It is not a VA rating of 100% service-connected, and a disabled veteran who does not meet that test can use it. Applications are filed every year, due March 1.
