What the county's page says. "There are additional exemptions for senior citizens, certain disabled individuals, certain disabled veterans, and veterans returning from active duty. The dollar amount of these exemptions changes almost yearly. Some of these require a one-time application, others must be renewed every year. ... ALL EXEMPTIONS ARE DUE DECEMBER 31ST OF THE TAX YEAR, UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED ON THE APPLICATION."
Disabled Veterans' Homestead Exemption. "This exemption may be up to $70,000 of the assessed value for certain types of housing owned and used by a disabled veteran or his or her unmarried surviving spouse. The Illinois Department of Veterans' Affairs determines the eligibility for this exemption, which must be reestablished annually. This exemption is also available on a mobile home owned and used exclusively by a disabled veteran or their spouse." The property cannot take this exemption and the Disabled Persons' or Disabled Veterans' Standard exemption in the same year.
Disabled Veterans' Standard Homestead Exemption. "An additional reduction of $2500 in EAV if you are a disabled veteran with a 30 to 49% service-related disability, or a reduction of $5000 in EAV if you are a disabled veteran with a 50% to 69% service-related disability, or a total exemption if you are a disabled veteran with a 70% or greater service-related disability, as certified by the US Dept of Veterans' Affairs. There is a provision limiting this exemption to homes with an EAV less than $250,000. The law also provides that accessibility modifications for disabled veterans will not increase a residential property's assessed value for 7 years after the improvements are completed." The page adds: "You can only receive one disabled person's homestead exemption, disabled veterans' homestead exemption, or disabled veterans' standard homestead exemption for each tax year on your primary residence."
