What is TED4-0526?
The Disabled Veteran Vehicle Tax Exemption Change Request is the Loudoun County form a veteran uses to ask the Office of the Commissioner of the Revenue to move the disabled veteran vehicle tax exemption from the currently exempt vehicle to a replacement vehicle.
The exemption applies to individuals who receive it as 100% service-connected, totally and permanently disabled veterans. The form does not apply for the exemption in the first place: it changes which vehicle is designated to receive it. The county asks the veteran to verify, before completing it, that they still qualify. Information on tax relief is at loudoun.gov/TaxRelief.
The form has two pages. Page 1 collects the veteran's information, the currently exempt vehicle, the replacement vehicle and a certification with a signature. Page 2 gives general information and four numbered instructions. A block marked "Office Use Only" is for county staff.
Two consequences are printed on the form. If the current exempt vehicle stays registered in your name, it becomes taxable once the exemption moves to the replacement vehicle. If the exempt vehicle has been moved, sold or otherwise disposed of, you update your account at loudoun.gov/efile.
Who needs to file TED4-0526?
The main group is veterans who already receive the Loudoun County vehicle tax exemption as 100% service-connected, totally and permanently disabled veterans and want it applied to a different vehicle.
The form asks the veteran to certify that:
- they have a 100% service-connected, total and permanent disability, or a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to a service-connected disability, as determined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs;
- the veteran and/or spouse owns the replacement vehicle, and it is not leased, not owned by a business or LLC, and does not have a registered gross weight over 10,000 pounds;
- the vehicle is primarily used by or for the veteran and is registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for personal use.
If the exempt vehicle was disposed of, the exemption will be moved to a qualifying vehicle purchased by the veteran and/or spouse within 60 days. The form gives the spouse's name when the veteran is married. It sets no rule for another person signing: the signature line is the veteran's.
A vehicle that is leased, owned by a business or LLC, or over the weight limit does not qualify as the replacement vehicle.
When to file TED4-0526
Submit the form when you want the exemption moved from the currently exempt vehicle to a replacement vehicle. The county says the update occurs within 30 days of the replacement vehicle being registered in your account and receipt of this change form, so the registration for the replacement vehicle should be in place when you send it.
If the vehicle that has the exemption has been disposed of, the form states that the exemption will move to a qualifying vehicle purchased by the veteran and/or spouse within 60 days. The form prints no other deadline.
Staff are available Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM (closed federal holidays), if you need help before submitting.
Documents you need
- A copy of the Virginia DMV registration for the replacement vehicle, enclosed or attached when you submit the request; the form's instructions require it.
