Thresholds

Thresholds for Dickson County (Tennessee) Trustee: State Tax Relief for Disabled Veterans, with a County Supplement
Gate	Rule
Permanent and total, as VA determines it	The State relief the Dickson County Trustee takes applications for, with the county supplement on top. The rating route in 67-5-704(b)(3) asks for service-connected permanent and total disability as determined by VA, which a veteran paid at the total rate through unemployability that VA has found permanent also holds. It is recorded rather than enforced because the paraplegia, blindness and loss-of-limbs route and the prisoner of war route need no rating at all.
Or a named loss, at any rating	Paraplegia or permanent paralysis of both legs and the lower body, legal blindness, or loss or loss of use of two or more limbs from a service-connected cause qualifies whatever the combined rating, as does one hundred percent permanent total disability from having been a prisoner of war. The state entry on disabled veteran property tax relief sets out the routes.
