How to use this, in four steps

You are on step 1. Nothing is locked — browse everything first, then check the ones that look relevant.

  1. See what you may be entitled to

    Browse every verified benefit in your state. No questions, no account — everything is open.

  2. Check whether you qualify

    Open any benefit and answer a few questions about that one. We stop as soon as we know.

    Go there

  3. Get the letter that shows the finding

    A VA Benefit Summary Letter configured to show service connection, the rating and permanence satisfies most offices without disclosing any diagnosis.

    Go there

  4. File before the deadline

    Apply through the Division of Veterans Affairs by July 1; the exemption then flows to the county assessor.

Which of these sounds like you?

Pick one and we will narrow the list. You can change or clear it at any point.

Two things sharpen this a lot

Both optional. Your county decides where you file and what a property tax exemption is actually worth; your rating decides which thresholds you cross.

Where do you live?

We use this once to work out your county, because property tax is decided county by county. No benefit is ever matched on a ZIP code alone.

Your VA disability status

Your VA disability rating

The gate is 100% permanent and total — or individual unemployability, added by Amendment G.

Do any of these apply?

Both can be true at once, and either can be true alongside any rating. Leave one alone if you are not sure — "not sure" keeps the benefit open rather than ruling it out.

What does my rating actually unlock?

Read the record for the test that applies in Colorado — permanent and total, or individual unemployability since Amendment G.

What you appear to qualify for — worth checking.

One question checks 11 of them. You can skip it and keep browsing.

Did you serve in the armed forces?

2 more questions could resolve others. We ask them one at a time.

Does my county change the answer?

For the statewide records, no — the same law applies in all 64 counties. What changes is the office you file with and the local tax arithmetic, which we do not yet hold for Colorado.

Every benefit here was checked against the statute or rule behind it, and each page shows the date. This is an informational match, not a government eligibility determination — the responsible agency decides your application.
