Greenwich Veterans’ Property Tax Exemptions

The Assessor’s Credits & Benefits page gives a veteran who is a Greenwich resident, served at least 90 days during an active period of war in the U.S. Armed Forces and received an honorable discharge a property tax exemption on either real estate or a motor vehicle, on a DD-214 filed with the Town Clerk prior to October 1. A veteran entitled to a disability pension as determined by the Veterans Administration is eligible for the disabled veterans’ exemption, filed with the Assessor’s Office once unless the status changes. The page prints no amounts, and OLR’s 2023 survey recorded Greenwich as offering none of the municipal options; the town’s code, Chapter 12, carries no veterans’ exemption. This entry rests on the page. Under Public Act 18-47, benefits are extended to veterans diagnosed with post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury or military sexual traumas as determined by the Veterans Administration; forms are in the Assessor’s Office. Members on active duty may have one passenger motor vehicle, owned or leased, exempt, on a commanding officer’s letter submitted annually by December 31.
