Protect your exemption and appeal rights.
A homestead exemption, senior-relief program, or valuation protest can change the amount a homeowner owes—but only if the filing reaches the right local office in the correct window. Use the verified county guidance below as your working checklist, then confirm the current form and deadline with City of Colonial Heights Real Estate Assessor.
Relief programs
What the local record says
Senior citizen tax relief
Colonial Heights provides annual real-estate tax relief for persons age 65+ or permanently/totally disabled as of January 1, 2026; the application and supporting documents were due March 31, 2026. Current income and net-worth thresholds are stated in the official 2026 application.
Valuation cap or growth limit
No general valuation cap verified; the city reassesses real property every two years and maintains a 2026 land book effective May 1, 2026.
Appealing an assessment
Build the objection around evidence and the notice date.
01
Calendar the window
Use the valuation notice and the county’s published protest guidance to determine the last day to file. Do not assume the payment deadline controls the appeal.
02
Assemble support
Gather comparable sales, photographs, repair records, appraisal evidence, property characteristics, and any documentation that explains why the assessed value is incorrect.
03
File and preserve proof
Submit through the official channel, save the confirmation, and attend the board or review hearing if one is scheduled. An appraiser or attorney can help evaluate evidence when the value or stakes are substantial.
The verified protest guidance for this county is: Administrative review within 30 days after receiving the assessment notice; Board of Equalization application within 60 days of the notice. If the language is not a specific calendar date, contact the office promptly for the current notice and board-review schedule.
