Disabled Veterans’ Exemption
- A veteran who owns and occupies a home as their principle place of residence and who is rated 100% disabled by the Veterans Administration due to a service connected disability (or the unmarried surviving spouse of such a veteran), may be eligible for an exemption up to $150,000 of the assessed value of their home.
- A veteran may qualify for either a Standard or Low Income Disabled Veteran Exemption.
- The Basic Exemption need only be filed once, provided the owner continues to occupy the property as the principal place of residence on which the exemption is filed.
- It is the property owners’ responsibility to apply for the exemption; it is also the property owners’ responsibility to terminate the exemption when no longer eligible.
- The property owner should notify the Assessor’s Office when any changes occur.
