VA and Military Buyers in Greensboro, NC

This page is general information, not legal, tax, or lending advice. VA loan rules and tax rules change, and only the VA, your lender, and the county tax office can decide what applies to you. I am a real estate professional, and my part is the search, the contract, and keeping your timeline on track.

Guilford County Veteran Services has two offices: one at 2301 West Meadowview Road in Greensboro, 336-641-4684, open Monday through Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Friday until noon, and one at 325 East Russell Avenue in High Point, 336-641-7929. That office is your first stop for benefits questions, and it is where the property tax form below gets certified.

For health care, the VA's Salisbury system lists a clinic at 1695 Kernersville Medical Parkway in Kernersville, and its medical center is at 1601 Brenner Avenue in Salisbury. Tell me which VA site you use, and we will factor it into where you look.

North Carolina law excludes the first $45,000 of a home's appraised value from property tax for a veteran with a service-connected, permanent, and total disability, or one who has received specially adapted housing benefits, and an unremarried surviving spouse can qualify. The home has to be your permanent residence, and the June 1 deadline applies.

In Guilford, the Tax Department takes the application (Form AV-9) and the disability certification (Form NCDVA-9, certified through a veterans service office) by mail to PO Box 3138 in Greensboro, or by hand at either of its offices, 400 W. Market St. in Greensboro or 325 E. Russell Ave. in High Point, open 8 to 5 on weekdays. The forms can be downloaded or mailed to you on request. Once you are approved, Guilford says you do not need to reapply unless your disability or benefit status changes.

Guilford County's 2026-2027 total rate inside Greensboro is 1.588 per $100 of value, so that exclusion is worth about $715 a year there. In the Town of Summerfield, at 1.0214, it is about $460. I confirm the district on every address.

We sign a written buyer agreement before touring, as the National Association of REALTORS has required of MLS participants since August 17, 2024. A VA-approved appraiser checks value and the VA's minimum property requirements, and I still recommend a full inspection, because the inspector works for you. I explain the North Carolina contract line by line and keep the inspection, the appraisal, and the closing attorney on schedule. If you are still serving and on orders, my page for VA and military buyers in Fayetteville covers PCS timing. Read buying a home in Greensboro and my Greensboro guide, then call me.
