What is the Virginia homestead exemption? The Virginia homestead exemption is a right granted under the Virginia law and can be found in 34- 4 of the Virginia Code Annotated. The exemption provides for $5,000 of protection per person on any asset the person chooses – such as money in bank or tax refunds. In addition, you get another $500 of protection for each dependent 18 or younger. If the filer is over 65 the exemption jumps up to $10,000, and disabled veterans get another $10,000 on top of that.

What Is The Virginia Homestead Exemption?

Virginia code 34-4 was updated on July 1, 2020, to also include a $25,000 home equity exemption for your principal residence in Virginia if the property is in the filer’s name. If filing jointly with your Spouse this jumps to $50,000 of home equity exemption for your principal residence in Virginia if the house is in both names.

Exemptions are used to protect assets from creditors. So if a creditor slaps a garnishment on your bank account, you can protect that money up to the amount available under the homestead exemption from being turned over to the creditor.

Who can use the Virginia Homestead Exemption?

You need to be able to claim Virginia exemptions, which typically means being a resident of the state for at least two years prior to filing your bankruptcy case. If you haven’t been in Virginia for two years, your will need to use your prior state of residence, or perhaps federal exemptions.
