Michigan Disabled Veterans Property Tax Exemption

About This Program

Michigan law provides a full property tax exemption on the primary residence for disabled veterans who were honorably discharged and have a service-connected disability. The exemption also applies to un-remarried surviving spouses. Veterans who are convalescing away from home or on active military duty may maintain the exemption as long as they continue to own the property and do not establish a new primary residence.

Full exemption on primary residence. Example: $200,000 home in Grand Rapids at effective rate ~1.4% saves ~$2,800/year.
