Kittitas County Assessor: the Exemption that Reaches an 80 Percent Service-Connected Veteran

The exemption is the State's; see the Washington entries on the senior and disabled veteran exemption. The county page's own words: "The exemption is open to seniors and people with disabilities with limited income, per RCW 84.36.381-389. This initiative significantly reduces property taxes on your primary residence in Washington State by freezing its value for tax purposes, and exempting you from various levies. The amount of the reduction is based on the applicant's income, the value of the residence, and the local levy rates." Eligibility, as the page prints it: "Age 61+, disabled, or veteran with 80% service-connected disability as of the previous year-end"; "You must have owned and lived in your primary home for 6+ months last year"; "Maximum household income of 43,000 or less". Applying: "Complete the Senior Citizens and People with Disabilities Property Tax Application (64-002 - New Application) along with the Combined Disposable Income Worksheet", or the 64-020 renewal; bring photo ID, the completed IRS 1040 with all schedules, income documents, supporting documents, and "receipts or evidence of expenses to deduct, such as in-home care, assisted living, prescriptions, health care insurance premiums, cost-sharing amounts, eye frames & lenses, hearing aids, dentures, dental crowns and fillings, etc." The office.
