Veterans and unmarried widows of veterans can file for the veterans property tax exemption, which is a $4,000 reduction off the taxable value of a veteran’s primary residence. Veterans rated by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) as 100% permanent service-connected-disabled can file to waive all property tax on their primary residence.

Unmarried widows of veterans can also file for the exemption or waiver.

Proof of veteran status and New Mexico residency required

To expedite the filing process, veterans and surviving spouses of veterans must bring a copy of one of the following forms to show veteran status:

  • DD-214
  • National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) form 56-16
  • Public Health Service (PHS) for 1867

If filing for a disabled veteran tax waiver:

  • VA award letter declaring 100% permanent and total service-connected disability

For proof of New Mexico residency, please bring one of the following:

  • Current NM driver’s license
  • Voter registration card
