Where it applies

Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

Section 74-222 of the Prince George County Code exempts real estate tax on the home or mobile home and up to five contiguous acres of an owner who is 65 or older, or under 65 and permanently and totally disabled, on the last day of the prior year. Combined income of the owners and others living in the home, other than bona fide caregivers and tenants, cannot exceed $55,000: the exemption is 100% up to $40,000 and 50% from $40,001 to $55,000. Net worth cannot exceed $130,000, excluding the home. A disabled applicant attaches a certification from the Social Security Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs, or the Railroad Retirement Board, or two doctors' affidavits. Section 74-224 sets the filing window at January 1 to February 15 each year. The county's page says mobile home applicants file by February 15 and real estate applicants by August 1. It is not a VA rating of 100% service-connected, and a disabled veteran who does not meet that test can use it.
