Details
The veteran exemption entitles you to $3,440 of assessed valuation deduction for the 2024/25 fiscal year. Conversion into actual cash dollar savings varies depending on the tax rates; currently, it is approximately $120 per year on the real estate or personal property taxes or up to $137.60 on the basic governmental service tax portion of your motor vehicle registration. Veterans may pay the exemption amount and elect to donate that portion of their payment to the construction and maintenance of a veteran’s retirement home.
