Disabled Veterans

Page Content

​The Disabled Veterans program provides a market value exclusion for property tax purposes for the homestead property of an honorably discharged veteran who has a service-connected disability rating of 70 percent or higher, as determined by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.

A verification letter from the Veterans Administration must accompany the application. The qualified veteran or surviving spouse is ​responsible for disclosing any change that may disqualify them from the exclusion.

Qualifying veterans who are 70 percent disabled or more are eligible for a maximum exclusion of $150,000. Qualifying veterans who are permanently 100 percent disabled are eligible for a maximum $300,000 market value exclusion.
