最近搬家，新房子的County政府要求房契上隻能有申請人自己姓名，或配偶姓名。我想申請65歲以上老年人資產免稅，他們說我必須先把前妻和女兒的名字從房契上去掉才有資格申請免稅。我女兒成年且不與我們住在一起。高光部分是說房產必須是申請人獨立擁有，或與其配偶共同擁有。我前妻住在這裏，同時房契有她的名字，這樣的情況是否就不可以申請房產免稅呢？大家有聽說過類似的情況嗎？謝謝！
以下是縣政府發給我的有關條款：
Sec. 26-37. - General provisions.
(a)There is hereby provided an exemption from taxation for real estate in the county owned by and occupied as the sole dwelling of a person or persons not less than 65 years of age or a person who is determined to be permanently or totally disabled. Such exemption shall be subject to the terms, restrictions and conditions set forth in this article and in Code of Virginia, title 58.1, chapter 32, article 2. A dwelling jointly held by married individuals may qualify for such exemption, if either spouse is over 65 or is permanently and totally disabled. For the purposes of this section, "eligible person" means a person who is at least age 65 or permanently and totally disabled. Real property owned and occupied as the sole dwelling of an eligible person includes real property (i) held by the eligible person alone or in conjunction with his spouse as tenant or tenants for life or joint lives, (ii) held in a revocable inter vivos trust over which the eligible person or the eligible person and his spouse hold the power of revocation, or (iii) held in an irrevocable trust under which an eligible person alone or in conjunction with his spouse possesses a life estate or an estate for joint lives or enjoys a continuing right of use or support. The term "eligible person" does not include any interest held under a leasehold or term of years.
