This exemption is extended to the unremarried surviving spouse or minor children (O.C.G.A. 48-5-48)", and the $50,000 surviving-spouse row (48-5-52.1) - with the county's own wrinkle that "in Coffee County, the application is filed with the Tax Commissioners Office"; the assessors' Schneider record-search app was not read.

Qualifying disabled veteran or surviving spouse who owns and occupies the home. The exemption follows O.C.G.A. 48-5-48 and 48-5-52.1; the county’s own page prints the $50,000 amounts and routes the application to the Tax Commissioner. The rating filter never hides this entry.

At a 50% permanent service-connected disability, one vehicle is exempt from Colorado’s specific ownership tax and registration fees, worth several hundred dollars a year on a newer car. The statutes do not require the disabled veteran plate, but the plate has an extra medical test.

50% or more service-connected disability. Both exemption statutes require compensation for a 50 percent or more service-connected disability, or loss of use of one or both feet or hands, or permanent vision impairment constituting virtual blindness. The specific ownership tax exemption in 42-3-104(5) also requires the disability to be permanent; the registration fee exemption in 42-3-304(3)(a) has not since HB25-1076 took effect on August 6, 2025. The plate uses the same 50 percent figure without the permanence wording.

A free annual pass to every Colorado state park at a 50% combined rating, or for a Purple Heart recipient. Apply once and renew each year, but only the Denver headquarters office can process the application.

Combined service-connected rating of 50% or more. The rating path requires compensation for a 50 percent or greater disability, and Colorado counts the combined rating where there are several.

Grants to Guard and Reserve families for income loss or emergency expenses during a mobilization of 30 days or more. Apply within six months of returning, one grant per deployment, and expect a wait: applications are reviewed monthly.

Current mobilization, not a rating. The grant requires current active duty of at least 30 days on overseas mobilization orders, Colorado residency for income tax purposes, and a resulting loss of household income or emergency expense. No disability rating is involved, and a veteran no longer serving is outside the program.

A $15,000 subtraction for military retired pay if the retiree is under 55, and the general pension subtraction of $20,000 or $24,000 at 55 and older. The under-55 provision exists because Colorado otherwise gives nothing to a retiree below 55.

Age, not rating, controls. Both subtractions turn on age at the end of the tax year and on receipt of military retired pay. No disability rating is involved, so the rating filter never hides this benefit.

A veteran indicator, a branch-of-service identifier, or both, added to a Colorado driver license or ID. Active duty members stationed outside Colorado also get a free three-year expiration extension, and spouses and dependents become eligible January 1, 2027.

Service documents, no rating. The indicator and identifier require a DD214 member 4 copy, a military identification card, or a common access card, presented in person. No disability rating is involved, so the rating filter never hides this benefit.

A free lifetime fishing license, or a lifetime fishing and small game combination, at a 50% service-connected disability, with the annual habitat stamp waived. Big game is not included.

Service-connected disability of 50% or more. The license requires proof of a 50 percent or greater service-connected disability and Colorado residency. The threshold used to be 60 percent, so a veteran denied under the old rule should apply again.

The chief judge of any Colorado judicial district may set up a treatment programme for veterans and members of the military; the statute sets no eligibility of its own, and each district writes its guidelines with probation, the district attorney and the public defender.

Veterans and current members. The statute names veterans and members of the military and leaves eligibility to each district. No rating is needed.

Colorado funds veteran emergency aid, transportation, and homelessness prevention through grants to organizations rather than payments to veterans. A veteran cannot apply, and has to find a funded organization instead, starting with a County Veterans Service Officer.

Organizations apply, veterans receive. Both grant programs award funds to qualifying nonprofits and governmental entities rather than to individual veterans. There is no rating or service test for a veteran because a veteran is not the applicant; the route in is a funded organization or a County Veterans Service Officer.

Set-aside big game licenses for members of the Wounded Warrior or Safe Harbor programs: 100 each of female deer, elk, and pronghorn, plus 100 for male deer, elk, and pronghorn combined. Eligibility is tied to being in treatment, not to a rating.

In a treatment program, not a rating. Eligibility requires current membership in the Wounded Warrior or Safe Harbor program, return from a post-September 11, 2001 overseas contingency operation, assignment to a military medical treatment facility at the time of application, and Colorado residency or assignment. No disability rating qualifies a veteran who no longer meets those conditions, and the rating filter cannot test them.

No eligibility - a board record. The record documents the board’s one veteran item in the 2025-2026 window; it grants no individual entitlement.

The Colquitt County Clerk of Superior, State & Juvenile Court - Donna Wilson, who the county's own page also lists as BOE Appeal Administrator, with "Other Services: Notary Public Commissions, Child Support Receiver, Board of Tax Equalization Secretary, Real Estate Recorder" (clerk's office number 229-616-7420 per the Southern Judicial Circuit's locations page) - is the county's discharge-recording route under O.C.G.A. 15-6-78 and 15-6-72 (the State entries); the county's clerk page publishes no discharge line, so the free recording rests on the State entries and the office's route.

100% service-connected. One path to the exemption is a 100% rating; the county’s section carries the older base amount and the State entries the current indexed one. Statutory awards for loss of limbs or sight are other paths the filter does not test.

The Columbia County Clerk records a veteran's DD-214 with "no charge" against $101 for an ordinary first page, at the courthouse, 230 Strand Street, St. Helens (503-397-3796); since July 1, 2026 only the veteran, a holder of the veteran's power of attorney or personal representative, a county service officer, ODVA or a funeral home may inspect it.

Columbia County Parks takes 10% off the $40 annual parks pass and off camping for disabled veterans, as it does for seniors; the October 2026 fee review that raises campsite rates from January 1, 2027 keeps the discount. Ask Parks (503-397-2353) what proof of disability it wants.

Disabled veterans. The county does not say what rating or proof it asks for.

Deceased Columbia County veteran, 30 days or more. The committee’s own eligibility; a county residence and the 30 days are the tests. The rating filter never hides this entry.

The Columbia County Register & Recorder (Brenda Lupini, 35 West Main Street, Bloomsburg, 570-389-5632) records a military discharge for no fee - the Recorder of Deeds fee schedule’s own line reads "Discharge - Military (Veteran) 0.00 FREE" - and the record is confidential under 16 Pa.C.S. Chapter 13.

Veteran with a discharge to record. Record the discharge with the Register & Recorder at no fee; the statute keeps it confidential. The rating filter never hides this entry.

The Columbia County Clerk’s "Return the F.A.V.O.R." program gives honorably discharged returning veterans a picture I.D. card that participating county merchants honour with discounts; the rules, the I.D. card application, the merchant application and the merchant list are on the clerk’s page.

Honorably discharged returning veteran. The card identifies an honorably discharged returning veteran; the clerk’s rules set the rest. The rating filter never hides this entry.

Justice-involved veteran. The court is for a veteran with an open criminal case who is referred and accepted. A disability rating is not the test.

The Columbus County Board of Commissioners (chairman Brent Watts, vice chairman Scott Floyd, Lavern Coleman, Giles E. Byrd, Barbara Featherson, Ricky Bullard and Chris Smith; Clerk to the Board Jana Nealey; County Manager Edwin H.
