Wythe County, VACounty

In Wythe County the Commissioner of the Revenue, Adam Linkous, at 290 South Sixth Street, Suite 275, Wytheville (276-223-6015, fax 276-223-6047; real estate deputies at 276-223-6016 and 276-223-6019), takes the statewide disabled-veteran real estate exemption; office hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. The county publishes no separate disabled-veteran page, so the state entries govern the documentation. The 2026 real estate rate is $0.51 per $100, on the county's Budget page ("Tax Rates for Calendar Year 2026") and in the June 9, 2026 budget resolution: "a tax of $0.51 on each $100.00 of assessed value of real estate and improvements situated thereon in the County". The May 26, 2026 public-hearing table shows the rate unchanged from 2025. Taxes are due December 5 each year, on the county's Wythe County Taxes page and the Commissioner's own important-dates list. A veteran who is permanently and totally disabled but does not meet this VA test can use the county's elderly and disabled relief instead.

Thresholds

Thresholds for Wythe County Disabled Veteran Real Estate Tax Exemption
Gate	Rule
100% permanent and total	Wythe applies the statewide exemption to the dwelling and up to one acre. It does not add an income test; the county publishes no narrower rule. 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.
