Veteran Exemption
Any U.S. veteran who actively served during a federally recognized war, including those honorably discharged or retired, and at least 62 years of age may be eligible for a partial tax exemption of up to $6,000 valuation on their primary residence (By law, exemptions must be adjusted annually by the municipalities certified ratio). Veterans receiving a pension or compensation from the United States Government for a total disability, either service or non-service connected may also qualify. A widow, minor or mother of a deceased veteran may also qualify for an exemption. Applications must be filed with a copy of the military discharge papers, such as a DD214, driver's license and birth certificate on or before April 1 of that year.
