To determine your needs, we will ask you questions about your ability to perform day-to-day tasks, such as bathing and dressing. We need to know if you are able to do these tasks by yourself or if you need some assistance. Placement under an Auxiliary Grant is only possible if your needs meet the level of care that can be provided in an assisted living facility. If you have other needs, the Family Services Specialist will provide information on other services that are available to help you meet your care needs.
The Benefits Specialist will determine, according to their guidelines, if you meet the income and resource criteria. The Benefits Specialist must have a completed Medicaid application to do this and all of the requested verifications. The Benefits Specialist has up to 45 days from the date the Medicaid application is received into the Department of Family Services to review it and make a final determination.
After contact is made with an assisted living facility that may have an opening, you may call your Family Services Specialist and ask that the assessment is sent to the facility.
It is your responsibility to contact assisted living facilities that you are interested in. Each assisted living facility usually requires a separate application in addition to the pre-screening packet completed by the Family Services Specialist during the home visit. Personal visits to the facilities are always recommended.

Fluoride toxicity can occur in rare instances if fluoride is ingested in large amounts over a short period of time, most commonly due to accidental overdose of fluoride supplements. Fluoride toxicity can cause diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting, increased salivation, or increased thirst. These symptoms start half an hour after ingestion and may last up to 24 hours.

State Corporation Commission: Case Information
Virginia permits localities to provide a real estate tax exemption on “real estate … designed for continuous habitation owned by, and occupied as the sole dwelling…”
The tax relief available to an otherwise qualified applicant should not be affected if he or she randomly and sporadically visits his or her family or friends and sleeps away from home for indeterminate, short periods of time. However, if a person regularly resides in another house during a certain period of time each year, that person will likely not qualify for tax relief.
An individual residing in a hospital, nursing home, convalescent home or other facilities for physical or mental care for an extended period of time, not intended to be permanent, shall not lose his or her exemption, as long as the applicant’s dwelling is not be rented.
Each individual’s situation will be different and could result in the need for the taxpayer to provide an explanation and/or additional documentation to make a qualification determination.
To determine your needs, we will ask you questions about your ability to perform day-to-day tasks such as bathing and dressing. We need to know if you are able to do these tasks by yourself or if you need some assistance. The program is designed to serve individuals who need help in a lot of areas (bathing, walking, dressing, feeding, going to the bathroom, etc.) as it is meant to be an alternative to nursing home placement. If you only need minimal assistance with bathing and some help with housekeeping, Medicaid will not pay for you to have Medicaid Personal Care.

Please call your senior benefits worker for information about your Medicaid application.

Many residential parcels are subject to a mortgage with an escrow account for payment of taxes and insurance and therefore will not typically receive a tax bill. Property owners do not need to provide a copy of their tax bill to their mortgage company. See the Treasurer’s FAQ page for more information about mortgage company payments.
A parcel located inside a special tax district will indicate so under the “Special Ad Valorem Tax District” and/or “Special Project District” field on the Profile section and will be noted on the Real Estate Assessment Notice.
Transfers of real estate are analyzed annually. Nearly 95% involve sales of residential properties. Sales for previous years are also reviewed when warranted. Information is gathered from buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals. The selling prices are then compared to the assessed values to arrive at an assessment / sales ratio. The county is required by law to annually assess at fair market value as of January 1 of each year.
Land values can change year over year due to changes in the real estate market. Sales of vacant, undeveloped land are analyzed on an annual basis to determine if the land values accurately reflect fair market value.
We encourage you to file your appeal online, where much of the required information will be populated on the form automatically. Applications for commercial properties must be filed online.
The Office of the Commissioner of the Revenue has a statutory responsibility to assess real property at 100% of fair market value. The monetary amount one may or may not gain from the sale of real property is not considered when estimating fair market value. This holds true regardless of whether the property is an affordable dwelling unit or not. This is analogous to the need to pay off the outstanding mortgage on a property, which also has no bearing on the property’s valuation for tax assessment purposes.
The State Land Evaluation Advisory Council (SLEAC) annually adopts use rates taking into account the estimated income production of several soil types suitable for agricultural, horticultural or forest uses.

Loudoun County uses publications from The National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) as the primary valuation guides for personal property assessment purposes, as do all 134 cities and counties in Virginia. In arriving at the used vehicle values published in its valuation guides, NADA collects and analyzes over half a million auto-related transactions per month, including both wholesale and retail sales. NADA collects its data from a number of sources, including automobile manufacturers, new and used vehicle dealers and over 165 automobile auctions nationwide. Additionally, NADA considers economic trends, geographic location, weather and environmental factors in the analysis of its automobile valuation data.
Due to various market factors, values for some vehicles may be higher as of January 1 of the current year than they were on January 1 of the previous year. This rise in vehicle value may be due to increased demand or diminished supply for a particular vehicle model or vehicle type, gas price fluctuations or other factors affecting vehicle sales, such as government or manufacturer incentives.

Vehicle personal property tax information may be filed online at www.loudoun.gov/efile. The Commissioner requests that all changes be submitted annually by February 1st to assist in establishing accurate assessments for each tax year.
You are not required to file online if you have previously filed on your vehicle and there are no ownership, address or other changes. Please note that taxes are billed to the name in which the vehicle or trailer is registered with DMV.
