Virginia has no state property tax — Halifax County conducts reassessments on its own schedule, so your tax bill may not change at purchase unless a revaluation occurs. The Circuit Breaker program provides tax relief for residents 65+ or disabled with household income below $50,000 (limits vary by locality); apply through the Halifax County Commissioner of the Revenue. File your Circuit Breaker application with the Halifax County Assessor's office in the year you purchase if you meet age, disability, or income thresholds.
