Hanover County posts updated Elderly & Disabled Tax Relief application; filing deadline March 2
Summary
Commissioner of the Revenue T. Scott Harris released the 2026 Elderly & Disabled Tax Relief application with a firm filing deadline of March 2, 2026, and requirements including income and net worth documentation, a $60,000 household income cap and a $400,000 net worth limit.
The Hanover County packet includes the 2026 Tax Relief for the Elderly and Disabled application from Commissioner of the Revenue T. Scott Harris and states plainly: "MUST BE FILED BY MARCH 2, 2026." The packet notes the application has been updated and stresses that documentation supporting income and net worth figures must be attached at submission.
The form sets eligibility thresholds and documentation requirements. Key specifics in the packet: gross combined household income cannot exceed $60,000; combined financial worth may not exceed $400,000 (excluding the value of the applicant's primary residence and up to 10 acres); the maximum annual relief is $3,500; and full applications are required every three years, with signed affidavits in intervening years. The packet lists acceptable supporting documents (end-of-year statements, SSA-1099 for Social Security, 1099-R for pensions, 1099-INT for interest, account statements for IRAs and CDs) and warns that incomplete applications will be returned.
The packet also explains verification and penalties: applicants may be required to appear before the Commissioner's office for additional documentation, and knowingly false claims are punishable as a misdemeanor with fines up to $1,000 or up to 12 months in jail. For assistance or to submit the application, the packet lists the Commissioner of the Revenue's office contact information in Hanover County.
