Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

City of Hopewell, VACity

The city's Real Estate Tax Relief for the Elderly & Disabled page sets the program. Exemptions run to real property "owned and occupied as the sole dwelling of a person who is determined to be permanently and totally disabled or over the age of 65", with jointly held property qualifying if either spouse is 65 or totally and permanently disabled. Net combined financial worth may not exceed $100,000 including equitable interests as of December 31 of the preceding year, excluding the dwelling and up to one acre. Total combined income may not exceed $32,500, with the first $4,000 of each non-spouse relative's income excluded and "the first $10,000 of income... excluded for permanently disabled individuals". The affidavit is filed annually with the Commissioner of the Revenue "no later than the 1st day of April each year"; first-time filers document assets (year-end bank balances, stocks, bonds, CDs, other real estate) and all income sources for everyone in the household. Questions go to 804-541-2237. It is not a VA rating of 100% service-connected, and a disabled veteran who does not meet that test can use it.
