Otter Tail County Assessor: Market Value Exclusion for Veterans with a Disability

The exclusion is the State's (Minnesota Statutes 273.13, subdivision 34; see the Minnesota entries for its two tiers - $150,000 at a 70 percent or more service-connected rating, $300,000 at total and permanent - and its surviving spouse routes). Every Minnesota county assessor takes the application; the county veteran service officer certifies each July 1 the rating of every veteran holding the exclusion. What Otter Tail County publishes. The Assessor's Department page describes the office's duties ("fair and accurate assessments of all real, personal, and exempt properties" across "approximately 65,000 parcels of property across 62 townships and 22 cities") and links "Assessor Forms & Applications". The county's property tax forms and applications page lists, among the homestead forms, the "Disabled Veterans Application" (form CR-HEV, Homestead Exclusion for a Veteran with a Disability) and the form for "Surviving Spouses of Disabled Veterans or Service Members who have died while serving honorably in active service" (CR-HESS). The same page links the county's homestead application deadline notice. How. File the State's form with the Assessor at 505 West Fir Avenue, Fergus Falls (the Government Services Center is at 500 West Fir Avenue), 218-998-8010, with the VA letter confirming honorable discharge and disability status, by the December 31 deadline for taxes payable the next year, per the State entries.
