Loudoun County Commissioner of the Revenue Robert S. Wertz Jr. has scheduled free information sessions to familiarize residents with the eligibility criteria for the county’s generous real estate tax relief program and new eligibility thresholds for 2020.
Loudoun County homeowners age 65 or older or with disabilities who are below established income and wealth limits may benefit from a reduction in the amount of property taxes they pay. Qualified applicants for real estate relief must have a gross combined income less than $72,000, and net worth less than $920,000. Up to $10,000 in income of a spouse or relative residing in the home is excluded from the income calculation. Program participants saved almost $8 million in real estate taxes in tax year 2019.
