Loudoun Tourism Grant and Property Tax Exemption Application
Loudoun County Tourism Grant
Nonprofits, municipalities, and businesses in Loudoun County are invited to apply for funding for projects to attract regional and national visitors to Loudoun County. Loudoun County’s Tourism Grants are designed to help develop initiatives to bring more visitors to Loudoun County, increase overnight stays in Loudoun hotels, and enhance the overall attractiveness and marketability of Loudoun County as a destination. These may include new or enhanced attractions, events, programs, or marketing campaigns.
Funding from the program is to be spent solely on initiatives that increase tourism or qualifying tourism promotions consistent with state code and the Board of Supervisors’ Restricted Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) funding policy.
For FY 2020, which begins July 1, 2019, the Board has prioritized funding opportunities that support partnerships between multiple organizations, including tourism and hospitality-related businesses.
Any organization interested in submitting a request for funds must complete the grant application online. Applications must be submitted by 4:00 p.m. Friday, March 29, 2019. Additional information about the process, as well as a link to the online application form, may be found at www.loudoun.gov/TourismGrant.
Questions about the process may be directed to Grants Coordinator Shalom Black in the Department of Management and Budget by email or by phone at 703-737-8186.
Nonprofit Property Tax Exemption Application
Loudoun County Commissioner of the Revenue Robert S. Wertz Jr. is accepting applications from nonprofit organizations seeking an exemption from Loudoun County real and/or personal property taxes for the 2020 tax year. The deadline to apply for the exemption is April 1, 2019.
Most charitable nonprofit organizations are not automatically exempt from local property taxes in the Commonwealth, even those that may be exempt from federal income taxes. The filing of an application with the Commissioner of the Revenue is the necessary first step to obtain a local real estate or personal property tax exemption.
Completed applications should be returned to the Commissioner of the Revenue postmarked no later than Monday, April 1, 2019, for consideration this year. Any exemption, if granted, would be effective January 1, 2020.
Applications are available online at www.loudoun.gov/NonprofitTaxExemption.
Nonprofit organizations that have already received an exemption from Loudoun County property taxes need not file an application.
Organizations that are unsure of their status may contact the Exemptions and Deferrals Division of the Office of the Commissioner of the Revenue at 703-737-8557 or at trcor@loudoun.gov for more information.
