Mesa County Assessor: Disabled Veteran Property Tax Exemption

The exemption is the State's; see the Colorado entry. Since January 1, 2024 the application goes to the county assessor, and in Mesa County that is the Assessor's Office, 544 Rood Ave, Grand Junction CO 81501, phone 970-244-1610. The window. "The application period is closed for 2026, no applications will be accepted until January 2027." A veteran who misses the deadline can still reach the following year's bill: "We are accepting late applications through August 1 to have the exemption apply to your tax bill the following year." That matches C.R.S. 39-3-206; from the 2027 filing season Senate Bill 26-046 moves the deadline to July 15 and the late deadline to August 15. The rating. The county's page takes the State test: honorably discharged; VA has rated the service-connected disability as one hundred percent permanent disability, with "a veteran who has individual unemployability status shall be treated equivalently to a veteran who has a service-connected disability that has been rated as one hundred percent permanent disability". "For those who qualify, 50 percent of the first $200,000 of the actual value of the property is exempted. The state will pay the exempted property tax." The Assessor posts the Veteran with a disability, Gold Star Spouse and Vet Surviving Spouse forms, and says "There is no online filing available at this time for the Veteran Exemption."
