Indian River County Property Appraiser: Veteran Exemptions and the VA Identification Card

The exemptions are the State's; the Florida entries explain them. The Indian River County Property Appraiser (ircpa.org) lists, on its applications and forms page, the DR-501 homestead application, the DR-501M deployed military exemption form, and its own guides: "$5,000 Disability Exemption for Ex-Service Member", "Homestead Property Tax Discount for Veterans Age 65 and Older with a Combat Related Disability" and "Service Connected Total and Permanent Disability Exemption". The local detail. The total and permanent guide says an honorably discharged veteran with a service-connected total and permanent disability "may qualify for total exemption of homesteaded real estate", that the exemption can move to a new homestead, and that it carries to an unremarried surviving spouse who held the home with the veteran by the entireties. For proof on a first filing it names "A disability identification card issue by our local Veteran's Administration Office", adding: "The Indian River County Property Appraiser's Office has made an arrangement with our local Veteran's Administration Office to supply all of our total and permanently disabled veterans with an identification card for verification." When. The office's home page says that from September 6 homestead applications are taken for the 2027 tax year; the statutory deadline is March 1.
