Veterans' Exemption

The Veteran's Exemption allows for an exemption of $4,000 for qualifying claimants. A Veterans' Exemption claim form must be completed and filed annually by February 15 with the Assessor. Claims filed February 16 - December 10 may receive a partial exemption for that year. For due dates which fall on Saturday, Sunday or Holiday, documents will be considered timely if filed by close of the next business day.

In addition to the veteran, qualifying claimants include parents and the unmarried surviving spouse of a deceased veteran. The maximum value of a property that can be owned to receive this exemption is $5,000 for an unmarried veteran or parent of a deceased veteran, or $10,000 for a married veteran, parents of a deceased veteran, or unmarried spouse of a deceased veteran.

This exemption may be claimed in addition to the Homeowner's Exemption; it must be filed for a different property.
