Agency 80. Department of Veterans Services
Chapter 10. 100% Disabled Veteran Real Property Tax Exemption
11/21/2024

1VAC80-10-20. Real property exempt from taxation.

A. The dwelling that is the principal residence of a qualified veteran, plus up to one acre of land, or more than one acre if a given locality has exempted such larger acreage pursuant to § 58.1-3210 of the Code of Virginia, shall be exempt. The exemption extends to real property improvements other than a dwelling, including the land upon which such improvements are situated, so long as the principal use of the improvement is (i) to house or cover motor vehicles or household goods and other personal effects as classified in subdivision A 14 of § 58.1-3503 of the Code of Virginia and as listed in § 58.1-3504 of the Code of Virginia and (ii) for other than a business purpose.

B. Manufactured homes, as defined in § 46.2-100 of the Code of Virginia, whether or not the wheels and other equipment previously used for mobility have been removed, shall be exempt after the qualifying veteran has titled the home in the Commonwealth and shown proof of ownership. Sections 58.1-3219.5 and 58.1-3219.9 of the Code of Virginia are the only instances when manufactured homes may be classified as real property. If the veteran does not own the land on which the manufactured home is located, then the land is not exempt. The veteran or spouse must meet all other provisions of § 58.1-3219.5.
