Where it applies
Written for the jurisdictions listed here.
- Roanoke County, VACounty
Roanoke County's relief for older and disabled owners is a freeze of the real estate tax, administered by the Commissioner of the Revenue, for an owner who is 65 or older, or permanently and totally disabled. A home jointly held by spouses qualifies if either qualifies. Since January 1, 2025, gross combined income of the owners and relatives living there cannot exceed $60,000, excluding the first $10,000 of each relative's income other than a spouse or owner. Net worth of the owners and spouse cannot exceed $200,000, excluding the home and up to one acre. Filing runs from January 1 to March 15 each year.
It is not a VA rating of 100% service-connected, and a disabled veteran who does not meet that test can use it.
