Putnam County (West Virginia) Assessor: Homestead Exemption and the Disabled Veteran's Real Property Tax Credit

The county's page. The Assessor's site carries a "Disabled Veteran Real Property Tax Credit" page whose PDF prints Code 11-13MM-4 whole: a disabled veteran "shall be allowed a refundable credit against" the personal income tax "equal to the amount of West Virginia ad valorem real property taxes timely paid a county sheriff on a homestead which is used or occupied exclusively for residential purposes", with no credit for untimely, delinquent or back-tax payments, and termination on death, sale or a determination that the property no longer qualifies. The Tax Commissioner prescribes the forms; the assessor's certification starts the claim. See the State entry on the credit for the ninety-percent and unemployability eligibility routes. The homestead exemption. The Assessor's FAQ: "As long as you are 65 before June 30th the following year you can sign up for homestead exemption. Or, if you are 100% permanently and totally disabled." The signup runs July 1 to December 1 (the site's dates page), so a veteran certified permanently and totally disabled applies in the same window with the same form. Where. Assessor Gary Warner, (304) 586-0206, fax (304) 586-0226, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays; the office's forms and online filing run through the assessor's site.
