The deduction is the State's: see the Indiana entries on the disabled veteran property-tax deduction (Indiana Code 6-1.1-12-14, with the surviving-spouse route at 14(b); the old partial deduction in IC 6-1.1-12-13 now applies only to taxes before January 1, 2026 and expires January 1, 2028). The county pages are where Bartholomew applies: the Auditor's "Deductions & Other Forms" page lists the "Disabled Veteran & Surviving Spouses Deduction" among the forms, names the Real Estate Specialist/Deduction Specialist Rose Johnson and Deduction Specialists Elizabeth Entile and Lisa Kelley for questions, and the Assessor's page carries a "Disabled Veteran Deduction" service line. The FAQ's "How do I apply for a property tax deduction?" points to the same desk. Apply with the Auditor with the VA rating letter; the State entries set the eligibility and amounts.
