Rocky Hill Veterans’ Property Tax Exemptions

The assessor’s property tax relief flyer prints a veterans’ exemption of up to $3,000 off assessment for qualifying wartime service. That is the statutory wartime exemption of 12-81(19) at $1,000 with the additional exemption of 12-81g(a), which doubles it for income under the 12-81l limit; the flyer prints no income limits. A disabled veteran’s exemption varies by percentage of disability, and a permanent and total disability is fully exempt, the 12-81(83) dwelling exemption. The flyer also lists an active duty military vehicle exemption, one assessment vehicle for a member of the armed forces, National Guard, Reserves, IRR or retired reserve, and, outside the veterans’ programs, a $5,000 blind exemption and a disability exemption of up to $2,000, both above the statutory amounts. Rocky Hill answered OLR’s 2023 survey by reporting no municipal-option exemption of any kind, which matches the flyer’s silence on local options. No Rocky Hill ordinance or code was found.
