Ashford Veterans’ Property Tax Exemptions

Ashford’s veterans page requires the original DD-214 with the Town Clerk by September 30 and posts the state’s M-59a additional-veterans application; it prints no amounts.

Also called: property tax, 12-81g, veterans exemption, assessor, Ashford.

For: Veteran or service member.

Where it applies

Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

Town of Ashford, CTTown

The assessor’s veterans exemptions page says veterans “must file their Original DD214 with the Town Clerk’s Office by September 30th to be eligible for Veteran’s Exemption on the next July tax bill,” and posts the M59a additional-veterans application and a memo on P.A. 19-33, which amended the wartime service definition to cover service of less than 90 days in a campaign or operation that lasted less than 90 days. It prints no amounts. The town’s ashfordct.org is the Ashford School District’s site and ashfordct.gov serves a for-sale parking page; the town’s site is ashfordtownhall.org. The town’s code is on eCode360 (AS4125), which stayed behind its Cloudflare challenge (dubiousenvelope/vettoc issue 168). Ashford answered OLR’s 2023 survey that it offered no municipal option.

Thresholds

Thresholds for Ashford Veterans’ Property Tax Exemptions
Gate	Rule
Wartime service or a VA rating, set by state law	The exemptions rest on C.G.S. 12-81(19) to (26): 90 days of wartime service with a qualifying discharge filed with the town clerk, or a VA disability rating. Amounts above the base turn on rating and income. The rating filter does not hide this entry.

Figures

Each figure is dated with the day it was read. A local figure moves whenever the statute or the local ordinance does, so confirm it with the office that grants it before you rely on it. Statute verified gives the day the weekly section check last found the statute standing on the legislature’s own code site; a figure without it rests on a statute the check does not read yet.
