Summary
Real property tax exemption; surviving spouses of members of armed forces killed in action. Exempts from taxation the dwelling of the principal residence of a surviving spouse of a member of the armed forces of the United States killed in action. If the value of the dwelling is in excess of the average assessed value of dwellings in the locality situated on property zoned as single family residential, then the portion of the value in excess of such average assessed value shall be subject to taxation. Pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 6-A of Article X of the Constitution of Virginia, which was adopted by the voters in 2014, the General Assembly previously enacted legislation exempting from taxation the principal residence of such surviving spouse only if the assessed value of the residence was not in excess of the averaged assessed value. This bill exempts the portion of the residence below the average assessed value, regardless of the full assessed value of the dwelling.
Title
Real property tax; exemption for surviving spouses of members of armed forces killed in action.
