Belmont County (Ohio) Auditor: Disabled Veteran Homestead Exemption
The Belmont County Auditor, Cindi Henry, 101 West Main Street, St. Clairsville (740-699-2130), takes the State's disabled veteran homestead credit on DTE 105I, due December 31; its forms page posts the 10/19 revision, which still prints the old $50,000 figure, where the State figure is $59,400 for tax year 2026, and the county has not adopted the local-option homestead.
Also called: homestead exemption, disabled veteran, surviving spouse, DTE 105I, property tax, December 31, unemployability, auditor, Cindi Henry, $59,400, House Bill 479, St. Clairsville, Martins Ferry, Bellaire, Barnesville, Bridgeport, Shadyside, Powhatan Point, Flushing, Morristown, Belmont, Bethesda, Yorkville, Brookside, Neffs, Lansing.
The credit is the State's (Revised Code 323.151 and 323.152; see the Ohio entry for the current amount, the unemployability route, the surviving spouse rule, the December 31 filing date and the one-time House Bill 479 share).
What the Auditor posts. Belmont County's Auditor publishes no page on the exemption; its forms page lists "DTE 105I - Homestead Exemption Application For Disabled Veterans and Surviving", which is the Department of Taxation's revision 10/19: file "on or before December 31", and "The applicant must be 100% disabled by or be receiving 100% compensation for service-connected injuries on January 1". It asks for the DD-214 and the award letter showing 100%, or, for individual unemployability, the letter showing compensation at 100% and the approval of the unemployability claim. The 10/19 form is still the Department's current one; as the Ohio entry explains, its $50,000 figure and narrow surviving spouse wording predate House Bill 33 and the 2024 change. For tax year 2026 the credit is the tax on $59,400 of market value. To share in the House Bill 479 relief on the bills of early 2027, a newly qualified veteran should be approved before the State's November 1, 2026 count.
The Commissioners' minutes of September 2025 to October 2026 show no local-option homestead exemption under Revised Code 319.304.
