The county's page. The Collector's page: "Disabled American Veteran (DAV) Information. DAV taxpayers may receive exemption for personal property and real estate property on the property where the taxpayer resides. To receive this exemption, the taxpayer must have a letter from the Veteran's Administration each year that meets certain criteria. For more information, contact Sandra Kilpatrick in the Collector's office or Brenda Watson in the County Judge's office." Against the statute. Act 876 of 2025 added to section 26-3-306(b) that the VA letter "is required to be submitted only one (1) time" and that "annual submission of a letter from the department is not required", from the 2025 assessment year, so long as you tell the collector if you stop qualifying or move.
