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.

- DD-214
