Yadkin County Tax Department: the Disabled Veteran Exclusion, the first $45,000 of value (NCDVA-9 and AV-9 by June 1)

The page. "This program excludes the first forty-five thousand dollars ($45,000) of the appraised value of a permanent residence owned and occupied by a North Carolina Resident, who was discharged honorably or under honorable conditions, or a surviving spouse, who has not remarried, of a 100% disabled veteran discharged honorably or under honorable conditions. The disability must be 100% permanent total disability that is service-connected or the veteran must receive benefits for specially adapted housing under 38 U.S.C. 2101." Proof. "A disabled veteran who has a 100% permanent total disability that is service-connected must provide a Veteran's Disability Certification from the VA or other federal agency." A veteran with specially adapted housing benefits shows the VA's proof. "The surviving spouse, who has not remarried, may also qualify if the veteran died after discharge due to a service-connected condition that did not rise to the level of total and permanent disability or if the service member died in the line of duty", with proof that the deceased spouse met the requirements. How to apply. "For Disabled Veterans, you will need two forms. The NCDVA 9 & AV-9 are both available online, in person, or by mail and must be filed with the county assessor by June 1 of each year." The physician (or the VA physician) completes the NCDVA-9 and the owner the AV-9. Mail or fax to Yadkin County Tax Department, P.O. Box 1217, Yadkinville, NC 27055; fax 336-679-2703; questions 336-849-7669. The county's Veteran Services office (its own entry) can help with the certification.
