Athens County Auditor: the Disabled Veteran’s Homestead Application

The Athens County Auditor takes the homestead exemption applications under Revised Code 323.151 and 323.152: a totally disabled veteran with a 100% service-connected rating (or TDIU) files the DTE 105I for the increased credit, disabled applicants the DTE 105E certificate with the DTE 105A; the Auditor’s own site (www.athenscountyauditor.org) answers a Cloudflare challenge to every automated fetch, so the entry rests on the statute and the State form pages.

Where it applies

Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

Athens County, OHCounty

The homestead exemption is the State's; see the Ohio entry on Revised Code 323.151, 323.1511 and 323.152 for the amounts, the income test and the veteran's increased credit. What the county's Auditor adds is the route: the homestead applications are taken at the Auditor's office, with the DTE 105I the form for the honorably discharged veteran with a total disability rating (100%) or a total disability rating for compensation (100%) based on individual unemployability, and the DTE 105E the certificate of disability signed by an Ohio doctor or a state or federal agency. The reading gap. The Auditor's own site, www.athenscountyauditor.org, answers a Cloudflare challenge to every automated fetch (the same wall Pickaway County's Auditor sits behind), and the Internet Archive was offline at this round's read, so no county-published homestead text could be quoted; the entry rests on the statute and the Department of Taxation's form pages. The Auditor's office is in the county's courthouse annex at 15 S. Court Street, Athens; the county's Auditor page links the Auditor's own site. A 2026 applicant brings the VA letter showing the rating basis.
