The Kanawha County Assessor takes homestead applications online from April or at the courthouse, keeps a December 1 statutory deadline it cannot extend, lists honorably discharged 90-100 percent disabled veterans among its qualifiers, and sends deputy assessors to the housebound.
Age 65 or older, or certified permanently and totally disabled. Code 11-6B-3 grants the exemption to an owner sixty-five or older or certified permanently and totally disabled; the assessor accepts a disability letter, a VA award letter included, as the certification.
The Kane County Assessment Office has the 2023 amounts right (up to $250,000 of equalized assessed value at 70%), but still asks that the veteran not be dishonorably discharged, says a renewal form is mailed to every recipient each year, and leaves out the World War II exemption, which never needs renewing.
At least 30% service-connected. The standard exemption starts at a 30% rating and steps up at 50% and 70%. The returning veterans and World War II exemptions do not turn on a percentage.
The older refund, open to a disabled veteran rated 50 percent or more and to the surviving spouse of a member who died in the line of duty. Property taxes above $700 are treated as though they were $700.
Service-connected evaluation of 50% or more. A disabled veteran is one of five claimant categories under 79-4502(e)(1); a claimant 55 or older, or the surviving spouse of a member who died in the line of duty, needs no rating. The percentage is a service-connected evaluation under 38 U.S.C. 1101 et seq. or 10 U.S.C. 1201 et seq., which means a chapter 61 disability retirement rating counts as well as a VA rating.
A member deploying outside the United States for six months or more may defer the property tax on their principal residence for up to two years, with interest and penalties waived.
Full-time military service, deploying outside the United States. The member must be, or soon be, mobilised or deployed outside the United States solely by reason of military orders.
A refund of everything the property tax bill has grown since the year the veteran first qualified. Rated 50 percent or more, household income at or under the indexed limit, and a base-year appraised value of $350,000 or less.
Service-connected evaluation of 50% or more. Section 79-4502(i) sets the gate for both Kansas homestead refund claims. The percentage is a service-connected evaluation under 38 U.S.C. 1101 et seq. or 10 U.S.C. 1201 et seq., which means a chapter 61 disability retirement rating counts as well as a VA rating.
Kauai's Real Property Assessment Office takes the county's veteran property tax routes: a veteran at least 80% disabled from service-connected injuries is exempt from all property tax except the $150 minimum tax (RP Form P-6 with the home exemption claim, P-3, by September 30), and a veteran less than 80% disabled files the same P-6 for a $50,000 exemption, the claim the blind, deaf and totally disabled also use.
80% or more service-connected disabled as VA finds it. The total exemption from all but the $150 minimum tax needs the disability the VA certifies on RP Form P-6; the under-80 route and the blind, deaf and totally disabled take the same form for the $50,000 exemption. The county takes the filing.
The price of not reapplying each year is a mandatory local audit program, a duty to rescind within 45 days, and an assessor who can deny the current year plus the three before it with interest at 1 percent a month.
Rescind within 45 days of losing eligibility. A rescission form must be filed with the local assessing unit within 45 days after the individual ceases to use and own the property as a homestead or no longer meets the 211.7b qualifications, including a VA rating change.
The Kenai Peninsula Borough exempts the whole value of a qualifying disabled veteran’s primary residence from borough tax: the State’s $150,000 plus an optional borough exemption in an unlimited amount. Inside Homer, Kenai, Seldovia and Seward city tax still runs on value above $150,000. File by February 15; a veteran whose rating is not permanent must send a current VA letter showing 50 percent or more every year by February 15.
50 percent or more service-connected. KPB 5.13.090(C) requires a VA letter showing a disability rating of 50 percent or more, renewed every year before February 15 if the rating is not permanent.
Rent a disabled veteran pays for the dwelling that is their permanent home is exempt from Kenai Peninsula Borough sales tax, for a tenant who has lived in the borough at least six months and is an Alaska resident. The tenant signs the borough’s exemption affidavit and the landlord keeps it on file. A widow or widower at least 60 keeps the exemption.
50 percent or more service-connected. KPB 5.18.200(16) uses the borough’s property tax definition of disabled veteran: a disability rated 50 percent or more.
An Alaska resident veteran discharged other than dishonorably, or serving now, can take a credit of 60 percent of the purchase price of one parcel of borough-selected land offered for lottery sale, once in a lifetime. The surviving spouse of a veteran who died of a service-connected condition qualifies too.
Alaska resident veterans and surviving spouses of a service-connected death. The credit turns on service, discharge and residency, not a rating, so the rating filter never hides this benefit.
The Kendall County Appraisal District's Adopted Tax Rates and Exemptions page prints the veteran exemption amounts by rating ($5,000 at 10-29%, $7,500 at 30-49%, $10,000 at 50-69%, $12,000 at 70% and up, $12,000 for a veteran 65 or older at 10% or more, $12,000 for loss of limb use, blindness or paraplegia, $5,000 for a surviving spouse and children of a service member who died on active duty) and names the over-65/disability taxing-unit freezes.
Rating 10% or more. Tax Code 11.22 exempts $5,000 to $12,000 of assessed value by rating tier; the CAD page prints the tiers.
Kent County’s Levy Court amended its code to establish a value-based tax credit for totally disabled veterans against 100 percent of non-vocational school district property tax on the primary residence, applied for through the Assessment Division at 555 Bay Road, Dover, (302) 744-2401, due April 30.
VA 100% permanent and total (including individual unemployability). The county credit adopts the state test: VA 100% disability compensation for a service-connected, permanent and total disability based on individual unemployability or a 100% rating, plus 3 consecutive years of Delaware domicile.
The Kenton County Property Valuation Administrator takes the homestead exemption on total disability, $49,100 of assessed value for 2025 and 2026, from an owner classified totally disabled by a federal programme such as the VA who received disability payments all year; apply by December 31, 1840 Simon Kenton Way, Covington, 859-392-1750.
Classified totally disabled by a federal programme, including the VA. The applicant must be classified totally disabled for the whole year and receive disability payments under that classification. A VA total rating or individual unemployability counts; a partial rating does not.
State grants for immediate needs and rent or utility assistance for veterans who are homeless or at imminent risk, with no rating requirement.
No disability rating required. Eligibility is honorable discharge and being homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness. No rating is involved, so the rating filter never hides this entry, and a veteran with no rating at all qualifies.
Kentucky has no veteran-specific property tax exemption. A totally disabled veteran claims the same $49,100 homestead exemption as a 65-year-old, and the only veteran-specific part is being excused from reapplying every year.
Total service-connected disability. Nothing below a total rating qualifies, at any percentage. Kentucky is close to all-or-nothing: apart from the hunting and fishing license and the reduced-fee plate at fifty percent, the benefits worth real money all require a total rating. There is no ladder of partial benefits between forty and one hundred, so crossing to one hundred opens several entries at once and nothing opens before it.
KRS 40.650 authorizes $10,000 loans to veterans for a home, business, education, medical or funeral costs, or debt consolidation. No implementing regulation or application could be found.
No implementing regulation or application could be found. KRS 40.650(3)(b)1 defines a qualified applicant as one who has met loan conditions established by an administrative regulation promulgated by the department, and subsection (5) directs the department to promulgate the necessary regulations. No such regulation was located, and the Kentucky Department of Veterans Affairs does not describe a personal loan program, an application, or a contact on its benefits pages or in its benefits summary. Treat the program as unavailable unless a KDVA benefits field representative says otherwise.
Since April 2026 the Kerr County Veterans Service Office has helped Kerr County veterans, and residents 60 or older, apply to the Alamo Area Council of Governments for help with utility bills, health and safety items such as glasses, hearing aids and medical equipment, and minor home repairs such as grab bars and ramps; it also hands out AACOG box fans in summer and space heaters in winter while supplies last.
Kerr County veterans and residents 60 or older. AACOG decides eligibility; the space heaters need age 60 (caregivers 55) and no other safe heat source. No rating is needed.
Up to $150,000 of assessed value exempt on the home of a veteran with a 50 percent or more service-connected rating effective before January 1, filed with a VA letter less than 12 months old by July 1 of the exemption year - later than the borough’s March 31 senior deadline. A veteran who wins a retroactive rating can claim the prior years they applied for, and the Assembly can waive late filing for prior years.
50 percent or more service-connected. A service-related disability of 50 percent or more with an effective date before January 1 of the exemption year, shown by a VA letter less than 12 months old.
Killingly’s counter handout gives the statutory amounts: $1,000 for wartime service, $2,000 to $3,500 by disability rating, and the doubled additional exemption for income-qualified veterans, applied for February 1 through October 1.
Wartime service or a VA rating, set by state law. The exemptions rest on C.G.S. 12-81(19) to (26): 90 days of wartime service with a qualifying discharge filed with the town clerk, or a VA disability rating. Amounts above the base turn on rating and income. The rating filter does not hide this entry.
Killingworth’s assessor page reviews and approves veterans’ exemptions and lists the D-2 and active-duty deadlines without printing an amount; OLR’s survey recorded the specially adapted house and specially equipped vehicle options.
Wartime service or a VA rating, set by state law. The exemptions rest on C.G.S. 12-81(19) to (26): 90 days of wartime service with a qualifying discharge filed with the town clerk, or a VA disability rating. Amounts above the base turn on rating and income. The rating filter does not hide this entry.
The King County Assessor's exemption page still gives the disabled veteran test as "a service-connected evaluation of at least 80% total disability rating", which runs two routes of RCW 84.36.381 together and keeps a floor the statute cut to 40% for taxes collected in 2027. It also says the applicant must be 62, where the statute says 61.
40% service-connected, from taxes collected in 2027. RCW 84.36.381: a combined evaluation of 40% or more (80% for 2026 collections), or a total disability rating at any percentage; or age 61; plus the income test.
King George County’s Commissioner of the Revenue takes the statewide home and one-vehicle exemptions for a veteran rated 100% service-connected, permanent, and total on one packet, and exempts the home parcel up to ten acres, more than the state minimum. It accepts only a military or dependent ID, or a marriage certificate, as photo identification.
100% permanent and total. King George County applies the statewide exemptions to the home parcel, up to ten acres, and one car or pickup. It does not add an income test. One path is a VA rating of 100% that is service-connected, permanent, and total.
King George County exempts real estate tax for a permanently and totally disabled owner with household income up to $40,000 and net worth up to $60,000, limits unchanged since 2017. The code accepts a VA certification of disability; the county’s cover letter asks only for two doctors’ affidavits.
Permanent and total disability. The owner is permanently and totally disabled and unable to work, or 65. VA, the Railroad Retirement Board, Social Security under state law, or two doctors can certify it. A VA rating alone is not the test.
King William’s Commissioner of the Revenue administers the "Disabled Veteran’s Tax Exemptions" at a combined 2026 real estate rate of $0.615 (school $0.31 + general $0.305) under Ordinance 10-26, adopted 3-2 on May 11, 2026, with real estate paid June 25 and December 5.
100% permanent and total. King William applies the statewide exemption to the dwelling and up to one acre. It does not add an income test; the county publishes no narrower rule. One path is a VA rating of 100% that is service-connected, permanent, and total.
King William exempts 100, 75 or 50 percent of the real estate tax - never more than $1,000.00 - of an owner 65 or permanently and totally disabled with income under $55,000 and net worth under $125,000 over five acres, on a three-year affidavit cycle with hardship filings through June 30 capped at $500.
Age 65 or permanently and totally disabled. The head of household is 65 or older, or determined permanently and totally disabled. A VA rating alone is not the test.
The Kings County Assessor's FAQ describes the exemption as up to $150,000 for a veteran "rated 100% disabled, blind, or a paraplegic", the statute's old base figure and a narrower test than the law, which also takes unemployability and the loss of two limbs. File by the deadlines on its calendar; late claims close on December 10.
100% or compensated at 100% for unemployability. The State exemption needs a 100% rating, permanent or not, compensation at 100% for unemployability, blindness in both eyes, or loss of the use of two or more limbs.
Kingston’s assessors post the Department of Revenue’s guides and no amount, so this entry gives the statute’s: $400 for a veteran rated 10 percent or more, $750 to $1,500 under 22A to 22C, $1,000 for a 100 percent rating, and full exemption under 22D and 22F. It also runs a veterans’ tax work-off worth up to $1,000.
A VA rating, a decoration, or a surviving relative. Clause 22 reaches a veteran rated 10 percent or more, a Purple Heart recipient, a Gold Star parent and the spouse or unmarried surviving spouse; 22A to 22E turn on named losses, decorations, a 100 percent rating or specially adapted housing. The rating filter does not hide this entry, because several routes need no rating.
The Kitsap County Assessor's eligibility page says a veteran needs "a 80 percent service connected disability", leaving out the total-rating route for unemployability that the statute has carried for years, and has not caught up with the 40% floor for taxes collected from 2027. Kitsap's 2027 to 2029 income thresholds are $70,000, $81,000 and $93,000.
40% service-connected, from taxes collected in 2027. RCW 84.36.381: a combined evaluation of 40% or more (80% for 2026 collections), or a total disability rating at any percentage; or age 61; plus the income test.
The Kittitas County Assessor (205 W 5th Ave, Suite 101, Ellensburg, 509-962-7501) administers the RCW 84.36.381-389 property tax exemption - open to a resident age 61 or older, disabled, or a veteran with an 80 percent service-connected disability as of the previous year-end, with household income of $43,000 or less - on forms 64-002 (new) and 64-020 (renewal) with the Combined Disposable Income Worksheet.
Age 61+, disabled, or an 80% service-connected veteran. The county page prints the eligibility line: age 61 or older, disabled, or a veteran with an 80% service-connected disability as of the previous year-end, income $43,000 or less.
The Klamath County Assessor exempts a portion of property taxes for a disabled veteran rated 40 percent or more who owns and lives in the home as a primary residence, holds an honorable discharge and meets one of Oregon's statutory service tests; a physician-certified veteran must also meet an income requirement. Surviving spouses and partners (per HB 2007) of qualified veterans qualify on the same residence rule.
40 percent or more, certified by VA, armed forces or a physician. The county page requires certification as 40 percent or more disabled by the VA, the U.S. Armed Forces, or an independent licensed physician; physician-certified claimants must also meet an income requirement.
The Knox County Auditor, Sarah Thorne, 117 East High Street, Suite 120, Mount Vernon (740-393-6745), takes the State's disabled veteran homestead credit on DTE 105I; its page prints the 2026-2027 income line of $41,000 for the means-tested homesteads and posts the DTE 105I form, and the county has not adopted the local-option homestead.
100% service-connected. A total rating of 100% for service-connected disability, or compensation at 100% for individual unemployability.
The Knox County Assessment Office (Chief County Assessment Office, 309-345-3845) administers the veterans' homestead exemptions - the Disabled Veterans' Standard Homestead Exemption on PTAX-342 with the yearly PTAX-342-R renewal and VA proof, the Returning Veterans' Homestead Exemption on PTAX-341, the Disabled Veterans' Homestead Exemption for a specially adapted home applied for through the local Veterans' Affairs Office, and the Veterans Organization Freeze on PTAX-763 - with the requested deadline September 30 of each year, filed through December 31.
At least a 30 percent service-connected disability. The Disabled Veterans’ Standard Homestead Exemption requires a service-connected disability of at least 30 percent certified by the U.S. Department of Veterans’ Affairs, applied for every year with VA proof on PTAX-342 and renewed on PTAX-342-R.
Knox County's Trustee takes applications for the state's disabled veteran property tax relief, worth up to $444 against 2026 county taxes. The county adds no match. The Trustee's page asks for an honorable discharge and a permanent and total rating, which is narrower than the law: only a dishonorable discharge bars relief, and two other routes need no rating.
Permanent and total, as VA determines it. The state relief the Trustee administers. The rating route in 67-5-704(b)(3) asks for service-connected permanent and total disability as determined by VA, which a veteran paid at the total rate through unemployability that VA has found permanent also holds. It is recorded rather than enforced because the paraplegia, blindness and loss-of-limbs route and the prisoner of war route need no rating at all.
Up to $150,000 of assessed value exempt on the home of a veteran rated 50 percent or more who qualifies for the Permanent Fund Dividend. Kodiak requires a new application with a VA rating letter every year by January 15, strictly enforced; a late filer’s only route is a good-cause appeal heard by the Assembly.
50 percent or more service-connected. A disability rating of 50 percent or more, shown by a VA rating letter submitted with every annual application.
The Kootenai County Assessor takes the State's $1,500 benefit for a veteran rated 100% service-connected between January 2nd and April 15th, with a VA letter stating the 100% rating each year; the property taxes on the primary home and up to one acre are reduced by $1,500.
100% service-connected. Idaho Code 63-705A: a 100 percent service-connected rating.
Kootenai County's Property Tax Reduction programme accepts applications only between January 1st and April 15th, and a veteran with at least a 10% service-connected disability, or receiving a VA pension for a nonservice-connected disability, is one of the qualifying categories.
10% or higher service-connected, or a VA pension. The qualifying veteran categories are a 10% or higher service-connected disability, or a VA pension for a nonservice-connected disability, with the programme's income test.
The Kosciusko County Auditor, 100 West Center Street, Warsaw (574-372-2323), takes Indiana's disabled veteran property tax deduction and credits, on paper or through its online filing portal; its page still describes the pre-2026 deductions and the $240,000 cap, which the 2026 law replaced with a full deduction for total disability and $350 and $250 credits, filed on State Form 12662 by January 15, 2027.
A disability of 10 percent or more. The State tests apply: total disability for the full deduction, 10% or more with wartime service for the $350 credit, 10% or more at 62 for the $250 credit.

Lafayette County's Treasurer and Collector, Michelle Perkison, at #6 Courthouse Square, Lewisville ((870) 921-4755), takes the State's disabled veteran exemption on the home and personal property; the county posts nothing about it, and since Act 876 of 2025 the VA letter is a one-time filing.
100% permanent and total, special monthly compensation, or qualifying survivor. The county collector administers the State exemption under Ark. Code Ann. Section 26-3-306. The disability test is the State test, not a county one.
The Lafayette Parish Assessor’s own qualification list puts a totally or partially disabled veteran with a 50%-or-more service-connected rating on the special assessment level, with homestead and adjusted gross income of $100,000 or less, on a Special Assessment Level Form backed by last year’s tax return.
50% or more service-connected for the veteran freeze. A totally or partially disabled veteran with a service-connected disability of 50% or more as determined by VA qualifies for the special assessment level, with homestead claimed and AGI of $100,000 or less.
The Lake County Auditor's deduction guide, last updated in December 2023, still lists the old $14,000 and $24,960 disabled veteran deductions with a $200,000 value cap, and says no one needs to reapply. Since 2026 a totally disabled veteran deducts the whole home's value, and must file State Form 12662 again by January 15, 2027 to get it on 2027 bills.
A total disability for the 100% deduction; 10% for the credits. The 100% deduction needs a total disability, which a VA pension certificate can also show. The $350 and $250 credits start at 10%. Recorded, not enforced.
The Lake County Chief County Assessment Office's veteran exemption pages are current: up to $250,000 off equalized assessed value at 70%, $5,000 at 50%, $2,500 at 30%, the World War II exemption, and no yearly renewal for a 100% permanent and total or World War II veteran. The County's 2018 veterans brochure, still linked from the Clerk's page, is not.
At least 30% service-connected. The standard exemption starts at a 30% rating and steps up at 50% and 70%. The returning veterans, World War II and specially adapted housing exemptions do not turn on a percentage.
The Lake County Property Appraiser's deployment exemption application is the Department of Revenue's 2017 form, which still lists Operations Observant Compass and Resolute Support, both since removed, and omits the seven operations added in 2022 and 2026. It also limits the $5,000 exemption to a service-connected disability, where section 196.24 says by misfortune or in wartime service.
10% for the $5,000 exemption; permanent and total for the full one. The $5,000 exemption starts at 10%. The full homestead exemption needs total and permanent disability. The combat discount needs age 65 and a permanent rating with a combat-related part; the deployment exemption needs no rating.
The Lake County Treasurer waives the late penalties on property tax for a service member on active duty, through 180 days after return, in place of Illinois penalties, on a form with a copy of the orders; 6% a year interest can still run. The form, from 2011, cites the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940, which is now the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.
Service member on active duty, with orders. Active duty that includes a tax due date, with a copy of the orders. No rating is needed.
The Lake County Auditor takes the State's disabled veteran homestead application, but the Veterans Service Commission's pages ask for a permanent and total rating, which the statute does not, and give $50,000 and $58,000 for 2026 where the figure is $59,400. The Auditor's own page says nothing of disabled veterans.
100% service-connected. A total rating of 100% for service-connected disability, or compensation at 100% for individual unemployability.
Lamar County's Homestead Exemption Office takes the State's full homestead exemption for a veteran rated 100% service-connected, who must bring the VA summary of benefits letter with the deeds and other papers, between January 2 and April 1 at 144 Shelby Speights Drive, Purvis, weekdays 8 to 5; only the owner, spouse or holder of a power of attorney may apply.
100% service-connected. The county asks a 100% service-connected veteran for the VA summary of benefits letter. Whether a total rating through unemployability counts is unsettled in Mississippi (see the Mississippi entry), so ask the office in writing.
The Lampasas Central Appraisal District (P.O. Box 175, Lampasas, TX 76550-0175, 512-556-8058, Monday to Friday 8 to 4) carries the State's disabled veteran exemption on its Exemptions page, sending applicants to the Comptroller's 50-135; the county Tax Assessor/Collector publishes no exemption text, so the amounts rest on the State entries.
10% or more for the partial exemption. Tax Code 11.22 by rating from 10%; the whole homestead at 100% or unemployability under 11.131.
The Lander County Assessor (Lura Duvall, 775-635-2610, 50 State Route 305, Battle Mountain) administers the State's exemptions; the office publishes no exemption text of its own, so the 2026-27 figures and the claim mechanics rest on the Nevada entries.
60% permanent for the disabled veteran exemption. The disabled veteran exemption starts at a permanent service-connected disability of 60%, counting separate ratings added together. The general veteran exemption needs qualifying service and no rating.
