Property Tax Exemption
Attention
Beginning January 1, 2024, applications for veteran-related property tax exemptions must be sent directly to county assessors.
Contact information for each county assessor can be found on this page, below.
Property Tax Exemption for Qualifying Disabled Veterans and Gold Star Spouses
Qualified Disabled Veterans and Gold Star Spouses may receive a 50% property tax exemption on the first $200,000 of their home's value. This exemption is applicable only to their primary residence.
Eligibility for Disabled Veterans
Applicants must meet the following criteria. The veteran must:
- have received an honorable discharge and have established service-connected disability rated as 100% and permanent by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs
- or disability rated as 100% and percent permanent through disability retirement benefits administered by the United States Department of Homeland Security or the Department of the Army, Navy, or Air Force,
- or have individual unemployability status as determined by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.
Eligibility for Gold Star Spouses
Gold Star Spouse applicants must meet certain criteria. Applicants must be a surviving spouse of a United States Armed Forces service member:
- who died in the line of duty and who received a death gratuity from the Department of Defense, or
- 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 and indemnity compensation from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.
“Surviving spouse” means an individual who was legally married to the veteran at the time of the veteran’s death and who has not remarried.
Property Eligibility
The property must have been owned and occupied by the applicant since January 1 of the year in which they are applying for the exemption.
A VA Benefit Summary Letter is required to be attached to the application at the time of submission.
Reapplication Requirements
Once granted, applicants are not required to reapply from the same address unless their VA status changes (for example, a change in the veteran's disability rating or loss of eligibility).
If the applicant moves to a new property, they must submit a new application along with their VA Benefit Summary Letter to the county assessor’s office. The resubmission must occur between January 1 and July 1 of the application year.
Application Submission
Applications with an attached VA Benefit Summary Letter must be submitted to the county tax assessor’s office between January 1 and July 1.
Applications submitted to the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs will be delayed and possibly submitted after the July 1 deadline.
