stillhere Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Went to a Tax Relief work shop put on by the local Fairfax county today. Found out that the 100% disability exemption is just waiting for the governors signature and will be retro to Jan. 1,2011 that is a given. She also told me that the county will notify the holder of the veterans mortgage and tell them that the veteran will not be billed in July so they will not need to send the county the payment. I have been trying since Nov. 10 when the amendment was passed to get my lender to return my escrow and they keep saying they need a form from the county. Well the lady from Fairfax county tax relief told me that she will be talking to the head of the tax office and see if they can put out a letter sooner and tell the bank that this will occur and they need not expect a bill from the county. Not sure if this will work or not with my lender Wells Fargo but they are being real asses over this though I have sent them the laws and my qualifying letter they still insist I have to pay it! This is quite a bit of money that I could be using instead of them making interest on it. If you are 100% disability in Virginia a recommend going to the work shops to see what kind of help you can get! Good luck to you all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stillhere Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 OK an update on this finally!! After passing the house and senate some localities in VA are taking names for their list and sending out letters. I would recommend all 100% P/T disabled veterans contact their tax commissioner. Also the Virginia Governor has the date of March 31 on his calendar to sign veteran legislature! Not sure if this one will be included but I would assume and hope so!! good luck to all and thank you Virginia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notorious Kelly Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Always good to see a state appreciating veterans with more than lip service. Hope this and more goes thru soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stillhere Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share Posted April 7, 2011 OK!! It is a done deal! Contact your local county, city tax commission to get the form for tax exemption. It is a very simple form to fill out and send in. This is a great thank you to Virginia vets! I say thank you Virginia citizens and VA Governor Bob McDonnell!!

halos2 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Mo is really bogus about this. You pay the tax to the county then send the copy to the state seat and then they decide if and when they pay you back...bull the law states 100% PT get home taxes free, but still have to pay personal tax ie auto's, boat, motorcycle, 4 wheeler, etc. Now they say they want to look at income to decide if they will pay. They owe me for 2 yrs already........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
