Tax relief for veterans and spouses

Starting with exemptions claimed for 2027, qualified homeowners can get an exemption from all property taxes on their homestead’s assessed value. The veteran must be honorably discharged and at least 85 by January 1 of the claim year. An unremarried surviving spouse also qualifies if the deceased homeowner met those veteran and age rules. The exemption continues in later years.
