Where it applies

Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

City of Roanoke, VACity

Roanoke's relief for older and disabled homeowners is a freeze, not an exemption: the real estate tax is held at the amount assessed when relief is applied for. A disabled homeowner has to certify total and permanent disability and be under 65. Combined gross income of everyone living in the home cannot exceed $51,200, not counting the first $4,000 of income of residents other than the owner and spouse, or up to $7,500 of disability income of a permanently disabled applicant. Combined net worth cannot exceed $160,000, excluding the home. It is not a VA rating of 100% service-connected, and a disabled veteran who does not meet that test can use it. Eligibility is measured on December 31, and applications are taken from April 1 to May 31.
