Virginia property taxes

Varies

Are Property Taxes Deductible in Virginia?

Short answer: Yes on your federal return if you itemize, within the $40,400 SALT cap. Virginia adds its own break: local tax relief or deferral for owners 65+ or disabled; each locality sets its own income and asset limits.

Homestead: no general homestead exemption; homes of 100% disabled veterans are fully exempt statewide. Virginia property tax relief for seniors is a local option, so amounts differ widely by county and city.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint) before you claim.
