How much it saves
No dollar estimate. This exemption's amount isn't available.
How to apply
- Application required: Yes
- Deadline: Apply to the county assessor by December 31 of the first assessment year for which the exclusion is sought (surviving-spouse applications have their own December 31 / two-year timing rules).
- Renewal: other — A veteran with a total and permanent (100%) rating generally need not reapply annually; veterans whose qualifying rating is not permanent may be required to recertify. Surviving spouses and primary family caregivers must file their own application to continue or claim the exclusion.
