Where it applies

Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

Spotsylvania County, VACounty

This is how Spotsylvania County applies the statewide disabled-veteran real estate exemption. The Commissioner of the Revenue takes one application for both the real estate exemption and the statewide one-vehicle exemption, on paper or online with uploaded documents. It is a one-time filing unless the principal residence changes. There is no income test. The exemption covers the principal residence and up to one acre. The county asks for the VA Benefit Summary Letter stating a 100% service-connected, permanent, and total disability, and one proof of residency: a Virginia driver's license, voter registration card, or DMV photo ID. A surviving spouse qualifies when the veteran died on or after January 1, 2011 and the spouse has not remarried.

Thresholds

Thresholds for Spotsylvania County Disabled Veteran Real Estate Tax Exemption
Gate	Rule
100% permanent and total	Spotsylvania applies the statewide exemption to the home and up to one acre. The county states the 100% service-connected, permanent, and total rating. 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.
