July 1–December 1, 2026 for the next applicable tax year; West Virginia county assessor pages identify December 1 as the homestead-exemption application deadline.
Senior relief
West Virginia homestead exemption: an owner age 65 or older or permanently and totally disabled, who satisfies the statutory residency and owner-occupied-primary-residence requirements, may deduct the first $20,000 of assessed homestead value. Eligible lower-income seniors may also claim the West Virginia Senior Citizens Tax Credit after paying property tax and filing the required state tax forms; income limits and current forms are administered by the WV Tax Division.
Valuation limits
No local annual valuation cap was published. West Virginia property is generally classified and assessed at 60% of fair market value (Class II owner-occupied residential; Classes III/IV other property), with levy rates set by the authorized levying bodies. The $20,000 homestead exemption is a deduction from assessed value for eligible owners, not a valuation-growth cap.
