Pulaski County Disabled Veteran Real Estate Tax Exemption

In Pulaski County the Commissioner of the Revenue, Kim L. Matthews, at 52 W. Main Street, Suite 200, Pulaski (real estate 540-980-7753, personal property 540-980-7750), takes the statewide disabled-veteran real estate exemption. The office's "Application Tax Exemption for Veterans 100% Service-Connected Disability" for tax year 2026 asks for the certificate or letter from the Department of Veterans Affairs showing the 100% service-connected disability, and its FAQ adds that the letter must be the original, with no copies, a photo ID, and proof of residence occupancy such as a utility bill. Only the primary residence owned by a disabled veteran is evaluated, and proration of the exempted amount may apply where joint owners are not entitled to the exemption and are not the veteran's spouse. Applications are requested by April 1 but may be submitted throughout the year. The county's own summary sheet lists the three factors the VA letter must show: service connection, a 100% rating, and a disability that is totally and permanently disabled and service-connected. A veteran rated permanent and total on the basis of individual unemployability qualifies on the same footing. What it is worth. The FAQ puts the real estate rate at 74 cents per $100 of assessed value, set by the Board of Supervisors, and the Department of Taxation's TY 2025 table records Pulaski County at 0.740 real estate, 2.350 personal property and 1.500 machinery and tools. The county reassesses on a six-year cycle and Vision Government Solutions is conducting a reassessment through 2026, so the next year's rate may change. The Commissioner maintains the assessed values for the county, including the towns of Dublin and Pulaski; town councils levy town taxes separately.
