City of Manassas, VACity

In the City of Manassas the Commissioner of the Revenue, at 9027 Center Street, 1st floor (703-257-8298), takes the statewide disabled-veteran real estate exemption. The city's "Application for Real Property Tax Relief for Veterans with 100% Service-Connected Disability" attests to the original, designated U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs letter showing the 100% service-connected, permanent and total disability, and the application is "generally a one-time process" that need not be refiled annually unless the veteran's principal place of residence changes. A surviving spouse qualifies where the veteran's death occurred on or after January 1, 2011 and the spouse has not remarried. What it is worth. The tax rate for fiscal year 2027 is $1.05 per $100 of assessed value plus a $0.19 fire and rescue levy, $1.24 in total, adopted by Uncodified Ordinance O-2026-966 on June 8, 2026 on a 5-1 vote after a first reading on May 11; Owens Brooke Special Taxing District adds $0.068. Real estate taxes are due December 5, or in two installments December 5 and June 5 (section 110-2 of the city code), and the FY27 relief application covers the taxes due December 5, 2026 and June 5, 2027. A veteran rated permanent and total on the basis of individual unemployability qualifies; the city's own vehicle page states the TDIU path in terms, and the Department of Veterans Services treats that rating as qualifying.

Thresholds

Thresholds for City of Manassas Disabled Veteran Real Estate Tax Exemption
Gate	Rule
100% permanent and total	Manassas applies the statewide exemption to the dwelling and one acre. It does not add an income test. One path is a VA rating of 100% that is service-connected, permanent, and total.
Permanent and total on the 100% path	The 100% rating has to be permanent and total. A 100% rating VA has not made permanent does not meet this path.
Individual unemployability	The other path is a total disability rating based on individual unemployability that VA has also rated permanent and total.
Permanent and total on the unemployability path	Individual unemployability qualifies on this path only when VA has rated the disability permanent and total.
