Property Tax Exemption for Qualifying Disabled Veterans and Gold Star Spouses
Qualified Disabled Veterans and Gold Star Spouses can receive 50% of the first 200,000 value of their home value exempted from their property tax. This exemption is for primary residences owned and occupied since 1 January of the year in which the Veteran or Gold Star Spouse is applying.
Qualifying Disabled Veteran applicants must have an honorable discharge and established a service-connected disability that has been rated by the United States Department of Homeland Security, or the Department of the Army, Navy or Air Force. Individuals being compensated at 100% rate due to individual unemployability do not qualify for this exemption.
Gold Star Spouse applicants must be a surviving spouse of a United States Armed Forces service member who died in the line of duty and the spouse received a death gratuity from the Department of Defense, or a surviving spouse of a veteran whose death resulted from a service-related injury or disease as determined by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs and who is receiving dependency indemnity compensation awarded by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.
Applications will be accepted between January 1, 2023, through July 1, 2023. Applications may be submitted in person or mailed to 155 Van Gordon Street, Suite 201, Lakewood, CO 80228, or via fax at 303-914-5414.
