Stoney Administration To Introduce Proposal To Extend Deadline For Tax Relief For Elderly And Those Living With Disabilities

Press release from the City of Richmond:

By Office of the Press Secretary to the Mayor - September 14, 2020

At the September 14 meeting of Richmond City Council, the Stoney administration will introduce an ordinance extending the eligibility deadline for the 2020 Tax Relief for the Elderly and Disabled program to October 30.

If the Richmond City Council passes the administration’s ordinance at their meeting on September 28, then Richmond’s seniors and people living with disabilities will have more time to qualify for much-needed support.

In 2020, program eligibility was expanded to include property owners with annual incomes between $50,001 and $60,000. Maximum net worth for eligible applicants was also increased to $350,000.

Visit the Department of Finance page on RVA.gov to see if you or someone you know may qualify for this program.
