Middlefield Veterans’ Property Tax Exemptions

Middlefield’s veterans page prints a $3,000 wartime exemption, OPM’s income limits for the additional exemption, and a local option with limits $18,000 above the state’s - $73,100 married and $63,200 single for the 2025 application period; OLR’s survey recorded $10,000.

Also called: property tax, 12-81g, veterans exemption, assessor, Middlefield.

For: Veteran or service member, survivor.

Where it applies

Written for the jurisdictions listed here.

The assessor’s veterans page says “Combat-era veterans’ or their surviving spouse who have filed their DD-214 with the Middlefield Town Clerk may be eligible for a $3,000 property tax exemption,” filed by September 30 for the next grand list. The statutory 12-81(19) amount is $1,000, so the page prints the revaluation-raised amount. The additional veterans’ exemption doubles the basic one for income-qualified veterans or widows and widowers, applied for February 1 through October 1 and refiled every second year: “The income limits for the 2025 application period are $55,100 for married applicants and $45,200 for single applicants,” OPM’s 2025 grand list amounts, “adjusted when there is a cost of living increase to Social Security.” “TOWN OF MIDDLEFIELD LOCAL ADDITIONAL VETERAN’S EXEMPTION” reaches “income qualifying veterans and their widow/widower” on the same filing calendar: “The ‘local option’ income limits are the State of Connecticut annually determined income limit plus $18,000. … The income limits for the 2025 application period are $73,100 for married applicants and $63,200 for single applicants.” The page prints no amount for the local option itself. OLR’s 2023 survey recorded Middlefield as offering the 12-81f(a) wartime option at $10,000 with income limits of $67,100 married and $58,300 single, then the 2023 amounts. A veteran with a VA rating of at least 10 percent presents the award letter to the assessor for the increased disability benefits. No code was found on a readable host for Middlefield.

Figures

Each figure is dated with the day it was read. A local figure moves whenever the statute or the local ordinance does, so confirm it with the office that grants it before you rely on it. Statute verified gives the day the weekly section check last found the statute standing on the legislature’s own code site; a figure without it rests on a statute the check does not read yet.
