For the 2026 tax bill, the filing deadline was December 1, 2025; new applications for the following applicable tax year are accepted July 1–December 1, 2026. West Virginia Tax Division identifies December 1 as the last day to apply for the $20,000 homestead exemption.
Senior relief
West Virginia homestead exemption: an owner age 65 or older or permanently and totally disabled, who owns and occupies the qualifying residence and satisfies the two-consecutive-year West Virginia residency rule, may deduct the first $20,000 of assessed homestead value. Eligible lower-income seniors who participate in homestead exemption and pay property tax may also claim the refundable West Virginia Senior Citizens Tax Credit; eligibility is below 150% of federal poverty guidelines and current SCTC-A filing instructions are administered by the WV Tax Division.
Valuation limits
No local annual valuation-growth cap was published. West Virginia assesses property annually at true and actual/fair-market value and generally uses 60% of market value as assessed value; levy rates vary by taxing district and class. The $20,000 homestead exemption is a deduction from assessed value for eligible owners, not a valuation-growth cap.
For a valuation appeal, use the appeal date in the tax and filing section above. Keep your notice, supporting evidence, and proof of submission.
