The exemption is the State's (Section 170 of the Kentucky Constitution and KRS 132.810); the Kentucky entry explains it. The Pulaski County PVA's page: "The taxpayer must have been classified as totally disabled under a program authorized or administered by an agency of the United States Government, or any retirement system either within or outside the state of Kentucky on January 1st for the year in which the application is made and maintain the disability classification through December 31st; The taxpayer must be receiving disability payments pursuant to that disability." It names the Veterans Administration among the programmes.
Amount. "The exemption for 2025 is $ 49,100. Any property assessed for more than $49,100 would require the property owner pay tax on the difference." The State figure holds for 2026 as well.
How. "An application must be completed and filed in the Property Valuation Office along with documentation verifying age... When applying for the Disability Exemption, the same form will apply. However, additional documentation verifying total disability in the form of either a Notice of Award or TPQY that shows date of onset or eligibility, and Verification Letter of status showing payments have been issued throughout the entire year must follow." The Kentucky entry notes that a totally disabled veteran is excused from reapplying every year, which the page does not say.
