Market Value Exclusion for Veterans with a Disability (Disabled Veterans Homestead Exclusion)
Cuts the taxable market value of a disabled veteran's home, which lowers the property tax bill. Veterans rated 70 percent or more service-connected disabled get $150,000 excluded, and veterans rated 100 percent permanently and totally disabled get $300,000 excluded.
Who it is for
Honorably discharged veterans who own and live in a homesteaded Minnesota property and have a VA service-connected disability rating of 70 percent or higher. Surviving spouses of 100 percent permanently and totally disabled veterans who receive Dependency and Indemnity Compensation, and VA-approved primary family caregivers of eligible veterans, can also qualify.
Focus: Veterans with disabilities, Surviving spouses and families
