What this benefit is

50% of the first $200,000 of the home’s actual value is exempt for a 100% permanent and total veteran — and, since Amendment G, for a veteran on individual unemployability.

What it's worth: 50% of the first $200,000 of actual value, exempt

  • The maximum reduction is $100,000 of taxable value, on the primary residence occupied since January 1.

Who is entitled to it

  • You meet the permanent and total test.
  • You own and occupy the home.
  • Your home is in this state.

Not sure whether that describes you?

Answer a few questions about this benefit specifically — we only ask what this one actually depends on, and we stop as soon as we know.

How to claim it

Deadline: July 1
  1. 1Apply directly to your county assessor between January 1 and July 1. Applications sent to the Division of Veterans Affairs are delayed and may reach the county after the deadline.
  2. 2If you are paid at the 100% rate through individual unemployability, apply: Amendment G opened that door.
  3. 3Gold Star spouses have their own route into the exemption — it does not end with the veteran. Ask the Division of Veterans Affairs about that route, but file the application itself with the assessor.

CorrectionAmendment G (2024) extended this to veterans on individual unemployability. Guidance written before it says 100% permanent and total only, and an IU veteran reading it would wrongly conclude they are shut out.
Worth knowingThe application goes to the Division of Veterans Affairs, not the county — filing at the assessor is the most common wrong turn.

Sources

Why only one source type: The state Division of Veterans Affairs pages returned 403; the El Paso County assessor — an administering office — states the exemption, the IU route and the July 1 deadline in terms.
