100 percent disabled, or over 65. Free camping for a person 100 percent disabled, from any cause, or over 65, camping with a spouse or dependent children. A VA 100% rating is one way to show it; age alone also qualifies, so the filter does not hide the entry.

The Washington County Recorder of Deeds, Jamie Miner, 102 N. Missouri St., Potosi (573-438-6111), files and preserves military discharges, keeps them out of public search under RSMo 59.480, and gives the veteran or an authorized party a copy at no additional charge on its posted request form.

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 State-plus-local route and no veteran row, so the amounts are the State’s. The rating filter never hides this entry.

Washington levies no individual income tax through 2027, so military retired pay, Survivor Benefit Plan annuities, VA compensation and Thrift Savings Plan withdrawals are untaxed by the state. From January 1, 2028, chapter 238, Laws of 2026 (ESSB 6346) taxes income above a $1 million standard deduction at 9.9 percent, with no military retirement exclusion; VA compensation stays out because it is not in federal adjusted gross income.
No eligibility test. There is nothing to qualify for. Through 2027 no income is taxed; from 2028 only income above the $1 million standard deduction is, and no rating changes either result. The rating filter never hides this entry.

A resident veteran with a qualifying discharge and a 30% service-connected rating, or 65 or older with any service-connected rating, gets the combination fishing license for $6.90 and every hunting license at the youth price (RCW 77.32.480). A non-resident veteran who meets the same test pays resident prices, and Guard members get free hunting licenses.
30% service-connected, or any rating at 65 or older. The rating path is a service-connected disability rating of 30 percent or more with a qualifying discharge. A veteran aged 65 or older qualifies with any service-connected rating, which the rating filter cannot express, so a veteran over 65 below 30 percent should read the age path rather than the filter.

An active duty member, or a family member living with one, keeps a valid license through the service and 90 days after discharge with a DOL authorization card, and a military truck driver may have the CDL knowledge and skills tests waived.

The designation needs veteran status under RCW 41.04.007 with a qualifying discharge (honorable, general, or other than honorable with VA monetary benefits, or a discharge solely for sexual orientation or gender identity).
