IN RE:
HEARING FOR CONSIDERATION OF ORDINANCE AMENDING COUNTY CODE
RELATING TO TAX EXEMPTION FOR THE ELDERLY AND DISABLED PERSONS.
James Buchholtzt County AttorneYt presented a prepared Ordinance
for consideration as requested by the Board regarding the maximum income
and net worth allowed for disabled persons and certain elderly citizens
relating to the relief from the payment of property taxes.
ORDINANCE NO. 2736 AMENDING SECTION 19.8 OF THE ROANOKE
COUNTY CODE AS IT PERTAINS TO THE EXEMPTION OF REAL PROPERTY
TAX ON PROPERTY OF CERTAIN ELDERLY OR DISABLED PERSONS.
WHEREASt the Board of Supervisors of Roanoke County deems certain
amendments to the Roanoke County Code to be necessary and in the best
interests of the healtht safety and general welfare of the citizens of
Roanoke County; and
WHEREASt Virginia Code Section 58-760.1 regarding exemption of or
deferral of taxes on property of certain elderly and handicapped persons
has been recently amended by the Virginia General Assembly; and
WHEREASt a notice of intention to amend the Roanoke County Code as
proposed herein and the public hearing thereon having been advertised
and posted in accordance with law.
NOWt THEREFOREt BE IT ORDAINED by the Board of Supervisors of
Roanoke County that Section 19.8 of the Roanoke County Code be amended
to read as follows:
(a) The County Commissioner of Revenue shallt upon application
made and within the limits hereinafter providedt grant an exemption of
the tax on real property occupied as the sole dwelling house of a person
or persons holding title or partial title thereto and being not less
than sixty-five years of age or determined to be totally and permanently
disabled as hereinafter set out. A dwelling unit jointly owned by a
husband and wife may qualify if either spouse is over sixty-five or is
permanently and totally disabled. In addition to an exemption on real
propertYt the County Commissioner of Revenue is hereby granted the
authority to grant an exemption of property taxes on mobile homes which
shall be deemed to be real estate if the owner's or owners' intention be
that the mobile home be permanently affixed. This determination shall
be made based upon the facts that (1) the owner or owners of the mobile
home have some interest in whole or in part of the land upon which the
mobile home is situated or in which the owner's spouset parent or child
has such an interest and furthert that the mobile home is connected to
permanent water and sewer lines or other facilities such as a well and
septic system; or (2) regardless of the ownership of the land upon which
the mobile home restst as defined in (l)t it rests on a permanent foundation
and consists of two or more mobile units which are connected in such a
manner that they cannot be towed together on a highway or consists of a
mobile unit and other connected rooms or additions which must be removed
before the mobile unit can be towed on a highway.
The person or persons seeking an exemption shall file an application
for exemption in affidavit form with the Commissioner of Revenue between
February 1st and March 31st to be exempt for the current year. Such
application shall set forth the combined income of the owners and their
I
I

.
.
I
relatives living in the dwelling on such property for the preceding
calendar year. To be eligible for the exemption the owners and their
relatives living in the dwelling shall not have a combined income which
exceeds from all sources $15,000 per annum provided, however, that the
first $4,000 of income of each relative, other than the spouse of the
owner or owners, who is living in the dwelling shall not be included in
such total. In addition, the owners and the spouse of any owner, shall
not have a total combined net worth, including all equitable interests
which exceeds $55,000 as of December 31 of the immediately preceding
calendar year. The amount of net worth specified herein shall not
include the value of the sole dwelling house and up to one acre of land.
Any false statement made in connection with the filing of an
application under this section shall constitute a misdemeanor punishable
by a fine not to exceed $100. The County Commissioner of Revenue shall
make such further inquiry of persons seeking an exemption as may be
reasonably necessary to determine their qualifications therefor. All
such further inquiries shall be answered under oath. All information
received by the County Commissioner of Revenue in connection with any
application for an exemption is deemed to be confidential and shall be
used by County personnel only in the official adrninistration of this
section.
Individuals claiming an exemption because they have attained the
age of sixty-five years shall be required to file an initial application
and make affidavit thereof. This initial application will be valid for
a period of three years and on intervening years, once the exemption is
granted, these persons will be required only to make an annual certifi-
cation, on forms to be supplied by the County Commissioner of Revenue,
that the information on the last preceding affidavit filed has not
changed so as to violate the limitations and conditions provided herein.
I
If such person applying for an exemption is under sixty-five years
of age and claiming total or permanent disability, he or she shall be
required to submit annually the required affidavit and, in addition,
each annual affidavit shall have attached to it a certification by the
Social Security Administration, the Veterans Administration, the Railroad
Retirement Board or the Civil Service Commission which shall indicate
that the applicant has been determined to be permanently and totally
disabled such that he/she is unable to engage in any substantially
gainful activities by reason of a medically determinable physical or
mental impairment which can be expected to last for the duration of such
person's life.
If such person is not eligible for such certification by any of
the above mentioned agencies, a sworn affidavit by two medical doctors
licensed to practice medicine in the Commonwealth to the effect that
such person is totally and permanently disabled is acceptable; so long
as the affidavit of at least one doctor is based upon a physical examina-
tion of such person by such doctor.
I
(b) Amount of Exemption for Elderly or Disabled Persons. The
amount of exemption is that portion of the tax which represents the
increase in tax liability since the year the taxpayer reached age
sixty-five years or became disabled, or the year such ordinance became
effective, whichever is later. The tax exemption for the elderly
became effective for those who reached age sixty-five on or before
December 31, 1974, in 1974. The tax exemption for those who became
totally and permanently disabled on December 31, 1977, became effective
for the 1977 tax year.
(c) The Commissioner of the Revenue shall indicate on the land
books of the County the amount of tax exemption granted pursuant to the
provisions of this section. The Commissioner, with the approval of the
Board of Supervisors, shall develop rules and regulations consistent
with the provisions of this section as are determined necessary.

(d) Termination of Exemption. Changes in respect to income,
financial worth, ownership of property or other factors occurring
during the taxable year for which the affidavit or certification is
filed; and having the effect of exceeding or violating the limitations
and conditions provided herein, shall nullify any exemption for the then
current taxable year and the taxable year immediately following provided,
however, that a change in ownership to a spouse who is less than sixty-
five years of age or who is not permanently and totally disabled which
results solely from the death of his or her qualified spouse, shall
result in a prorated exemption for the then current taxable year. Such
prorated portion shall be determined by multiplying the amount of the
exemption by a fraction wherein the number of complete months of the
year such property was properly eligible for such exemption is the
numerator and the number 12 is the denominator.
I
(e) This ordinance shall be construed to allow those personnel
administering the program all authority granted to the County by Virginia
Code Section 58-760.1.
