Exemptions

Beginning January 1, 2021, if you are a Disabled Veteran, your Personal Property tax
on one motor vehicle may be exempt per Virginia Code §58.1-3668.  To qualify for the exemption, the veteran must have been rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans
Affairs or its successor agency pursuant to federal law with a:

• 100% service-connected, permanent and total disability, OR
• Permanent and total disability being paid at the 100% rate because of  unemployability due to service-connected disability

Reduced Rate

A reduced personal property tax rate of $2.125 per hundred dollars of value on one owned motor vehicle may be available to veterans who do not qualify for the exemption because they are not 100% service-connected.   The veteran must have been rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or its successor agency pursuant to federal law to have one of the following service connected disabilities:

• Has lost, or lost the use of, a leg, arm or hand
• Or Is blind (as defined by Code of Virginia §46.2-100)
• Or Is permanently and totally disabled
