Broomfield Assessor: Disabled Veteran Property Tax Exemption

The exemption is the State's (C.R.S. 39-3-201 to 39-3-208; see the Colorado entry): half of the first $200,000 of the actual value of the home, at a 100% permanent and total rating or, since Amendment G (tax year 2025), individual unemployability; a surviving spouse and a Gold Star spouse have their own applications. What the page says. The Property Tax Exemption and Deferral Programs page: the exemption "is available to applicants who: sustained a service-connected disability while serving on active duty in the Armed Forces, were honorably discharged, and were rated by the Department of Veterans Affairs at 100% 'permanent and total' disabled, and owned and occupied the home as his or her primary residence since January 1 of the year of application", with the application and instructions to print. The Assessor's dates list "July 1 - Veterans with a disability applications must be completed and returned to the Assessor"; the surviving spouse application is also due July 1 and "is available from the Division of Veterans Affairs or the county assessor". What it leaves out. Individual unemployability now qualifies; C.R.S. 39-3-202 asks for separation under honorable conditions, not an honorable discharge as such; a late application can be accepted for good cause to August 1 (C.R.S. 39-3-206); and Senate Bill 26-046 moves the deadlines to July 15 and August 15 from the 2027 filing season (its sections 8 and 9 take effect January 1, 2027). The same page gives the senior exemption's deadline as July 15. Once granted, the exemption carries over. The office.
