Veterans Tax Exemption

The Constitution of Virginia [Article X, Section 6(a)(8)] and Virginia Code §58.1-3668 were amended effective January 1, 2021, to establish an exemption from local property taxes for one (1) vehicle used by or for a 100% service-connected, totally and permanently disabled veteran.

Qualified veterans of the Armed Forces or Virginia National Guard who meet the following criteria may apply for a personal property tax exemption for one (1) vehicle:

• Veteran must have a properly documented rating of 100% service-connected, total and permanent disability.
• The motor vehicle (car or truck) must be owned by the veteran and/or spouse and used primarily by or for the veteran. Leased vehicles do not qualify.

To receive the exemption, complete the Personal Property Tax Exemption for Disabled Veterans application and provide supporting documentation from the Department of Veterans Affairs. You can request a statement from the Department of Veterans Affairs confirming a 100% service-connected disability by submitting a Department of Veterans Affairs Form 21-4138 .
