Newington Veterans’ Property Tax Exemptions

Newington publishes one table of its exemptions for the 2025 grand list, last updated November 26, 2025. For a veteran it lists the 12-81(19) wartime service exemption of $3,000 off assessment, the 12-81(20) to (26) disability exemptions of $4,500 to $10,500 by rating, the state’s additional low-income exemption under 12-81g of $4,000 to $20,000, and the town’s own low-income exemption under 12-81f of $10,000. The table gives the income limit for the 12-81g exemption as $46,300 single or $56,500 married, and for the 12-81f exemption as $53,800 or $64,000, counting all income except VA disability and pension payments. The 12-81g limit is the state’s, set each year by OPM under 12-81l, not the town’s: $46,300 and $56,500 are the amounts towns print for applications filed in 2026, while OPM’s memo of December 12, 2024 set $45,200 and $55,100 for the 2025 grand list the table is headed with. The 12-81f limit is Newington’s own, $7,500 above the state’s. The table’s footnote gives a 100 percent disabled veteran’s limit as $18,000 single or $21,000 married, which are the subsection (a) limits of 12-81g. OLR’s 2023 survey listed Newington among the towns that offer the subsection (b) option, whose limits are $21,000 and $24,000. Ask the assessor which applies.
