This Homestead Exemption for Veterans with Disabilities is for veterans with a service-connected disability as certified by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The exemption reduces certain amounts of the Equalized Assessed Value (EAV) on the primary residence of a veteran with a disability, very likely lowering the tax bill. The amounts of those EAV deductions depend on the level of disability.
The automatic renewal of this exemption due to the COVID-19 pandemic has ended. All applicants must reapply annually.
NEW: Per new legislation, Veterans who are rated 100% disabled and classified as “permanently and totally disabled” by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs will be automatically renewed next year during tax year 2023.
Automatic Renewal: No, this exemption must be filed annually.
***If you need to make an appointment to apply for the first time or reapply for the Freeze only, Please call for an appointment @ (708) 228-5037.
