What is 2026-2027 Mobile Home Tax Deferral - Application – Newport News, VA?
The 2026-2027 Mobile Home Tax Deferral - Application is the City of Newport News, Virginia form, printed as the "2026 Application, Mobile Home Tax Deferral for the Elderly and Disabled," that asks the Commissioner of the Revenue to defer the 2026 mobile home tax.
A deferral postpones the tax rather than cancelling it. In the affidavit, the applicant acknowledges that, if eligible, the deferred tax for 2026 accumulates and is paid to the city treasurer immediately upon the sale or transfer of title of the dwelling, or from the estate of the decedent within one year after the death of the last owner who qualified for deferral.
The form has six parts:
- Section 1, applicant and spouse information, with questions A to E about residence, mailing address, disability before age 65, leasing and other occupants.
- Section 2, other persons living at the address.
- Section 3, total annual combined gross household income for January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025.
- Section 4, balances of accounts and values of assets on December 31, 2025, plus vehicles, boats and similar assets.
- Section 5, the election to defer 100% of the 2026 tax or a stated percentage.
- Section 6, the affidavit, signed before a Notary Public.
The Commissioner of the Revenue's Forms page lists this application next to "2026-2027 Mobile Home Tax Deferral - Gen Info and Instructions," and lists a separate Mobile Home Tax Exemption category. This page covers the deferral application only. The revision printed on the form is Rev 12/25.
Who needs to file 2026-2027 Mobile Home Tax Deferral - Application – Newport News, VA?
Owners of a mobile home in the City of Newport News who are elderly or disabled and want to defer their 2026 mobile home tax file this application with the Commissioner of the Revenue. The form's title and its question C, which asks whether you or your spouse were determined disabled prior to age 65, reflect those two groups. The form itself says "if eligible for deferral," so the Commissioner of the Revenue decides eligibility; the age, income and asset limits are not printed on the application.
What the form asks of the household:
- The applicant and, if there is one, the spouse each give a name, Social Security Number and date of birth.
- If the names on the deed differ from the applicant, you list them at the top of the form.
- Anyone other than the applicant and spouse who lives in the home is listed in Section 2, and their income is reported in Section 3.
- You say whether any part of the residence is leased or rented to other persons.
The form describes no one signing for the applicant: the applicant signs the affidavit in front of a Notary Public.
