Fremont County Assessor (Ella M. Riggs, Interim): the Veterans' Exemption, $6,000 of Assessed Value

The Assessor's words. "Administered by the County Assessor and Treasurer, this program aids qualified veterans by reducing property taxes on principle residences or motor vehicles. To receive the veteran's exemption, the Veterans Property Tax Exemption Application must be completed and returned to the Assessor's Office by the fourth Monday of May every year." "**Starting in 2025, the exemption amount will be $6,000 assessed value (up from $3,000). All applicable rules and application procedures are still in place.**" The lifetime cap of $800 was removed in 2007. Every year. "If you have filed in the past, your signature is needed once a year to retain the exemption. You must sign by the fourth Monday in May every year by visiting the Assessor's Office. We can now also accept a signature by phone for principal residence claims." The page posts a renewal form. It puts the saving at "approximately $175 in property taxes" on a principal residence or "approximately $90 on a motor vehicle", and the residence saves more; a veteran who does not own a home can use it on a vehicle.
