What Caroline County sellers
should know
-
Tax relief for older owners ends with the owner
Caroline County's exemption for the elderly and handicapped can cut real estate taxes by up to 95% on the owner's principal residence, for owners 65 or older or disabled within income and net worth limits. It is tied to the owner living there, so if you are selling a parent's home, ask the Commissioner of the Revenue how the account stands.

The county has its own flood hazard overlay
FEMA first mapped flood hazards in Caroline County in 1989 and updated the maps in 2008. The Board re-adopted them in January 2009 along with a revised flood hazard overlay district in the zoning ordinance. The plan shows 100-year floodplain along the Mattaponi River near Bowling Green.

Flood zones can lower assessed value
The Commissioner of the Revenue says water frontage and good views add value, while being near a flood zone can lower a parcel's value. Keep that in mind when comparing your assessment with nearby sales.
