Before you start
How you apply: Apply directly to the program.
How to apply
- Get form 150-303-086 from your county assessor's office or from oregon.gov/dor/forms.
- Attach your DD-214 (or discharge document) and your VA or military disability rating letter, or a doctor's certification.
- File the completed form with your county assessor's office.
Deadline: File by April 1 before the tax year you want the exemption for. If you buy your home between March 1 and July 1, you have 30 days from the purchase date instead. If your disability rating comes from a licensed physician rather than the VA or military, that certification must be updated every year, so you refile yearly. If it comes from the VA or a branch of the Armed Forces, it only needs to be dated within the last 3 years. (Annual cycle)
Amount: $27,092 or $32,512 exempted from assessed home value, depending on disability rating
