Roxbury Veterans’ Property Tax Exemptions

The assessor page’s filing deadlines give the Additional Veteran’s Exemption and the Blind and Veteran’s Exemption each an October 1 deadline, the Disabled Exemption one before the January grand-list filing, and motor vehicles for members of the armed forces a December 31 one. Its veterans section requires the DD-214 filed with the Town Clerk before October 1 with service in an eligible war period, and accepts veterans receiving a disability through the Veterans Administration who have filed a DD-214 whether or not they served in an eligible period; disabled veterans file a letter from the Administration showing the rate of disability, a one-time filing unless the rate changes. The page also carries the OTH-discharge route of P.A. 18-47 and Form D-2, the OPM application for the exemption of 12-81(83). The page’s Additional Veteran’s Exemption section says a veteran receiving the exemption “may qualify” for an additional one “provided by the Connecticut State Statute CGS § 12-81f,” income-based, filed February 1 through October 1. OLR’s 2023 survey recorded Roxbury as offering no municipal option, and the town’s own ordinance book, a republication in the DocumentCenter whose taxation chapter carries tax payments and a medical-transport vehicle exemption only, enacts none; whether Roxbury offers a 12-81f exemption is for the assessor to say. No amount is printed for any veterans’ exemption: the wartime exemption is $1,000 of assessed value under 12-81(19), with the 12-81g(a) additional exemption of twice that for income within the 12-81l limit. No Roxbury code was found on a readable host beyond the town’s own ordinance book; ask the assessor.
