Disabled Minnesota veterans may have property tax relief.
Disabled Minnesota veterans will have some, if not all, of their property taxes forgiven beginning in 2009. Qualifying veterans must have the proper paperwork filed with their county assessor’s office by July 1, 2008. Veterans should start the process early in order to file the necessary official military discharge papers and documents verifying disability status before the deadline. Veterans with 70 percent disability will have $150,000 excluded from the market value of their homestead property. For more information, visit the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs website or telephone Minnesota’s Veterans Linkage Line at 1-888-LinkVet (1-888-546-5838)
