美国65岁以上老年人房产免税

最近搬家，新房子的County政府要求房契上只能有申请人自己姓名，或配偶姓名。我想申请65岁以上老年人资产免税，他们说我必须先把前妻和女儿的名字从房契上去掉才有资格申请免税。我女儿成年且不与我们住在一起。高光部分是说房产必须是申请人独立拥有，或与其配偶共同拥有。我前妻住在这里，同时房契有她的名字，这样的情况是否就不可以申请房产免税呢？大家有听说过类似的情况吗？谢谢！

以下是县政府发给我的有关条款：

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.
