Who We Are

Bath County offers a real estate tax relief program for the elderly, disabled and disabled veterans.  Tax Relief for the Elderly and Disabled is authorized under the Code of Virginia §58.1-3210. 

Veterans rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) as having a 100 percent, permanent and total, service-connected disability or who have a service-connected individual unemployable disability rating are exempt from paying real estate taxes on their primary residence.  The exemption is based on the veteran’s disability rating rather than the level of compensation. The exemption includes property held jointly by spouses and applies to the residence and up to one acre of land.

The surviving spouse of an eligible veteran may also receive the real estate tax exemption if the veteran died on or after January 1, 2011.  The spouse will lose the exemption if he or she remarries or does not occupy the property as his or her primary residence.
