Connecticut Veteran Property Tax Exemption

About This Program

Connecticut provides property tax assessment exemptions for qualifying veterans and their surviving spouses. Basic wartime service earns a $1,500 assessment exemption; disabled veterans with VA-rated disabilities receive $2,250–$4,500 depending on disability percentage; 100% disabled veterans with income at or below $18,000 single/$21,000 married receive a $10,500 exemption. Hartford may supplement state amounts.

Assessment reduction of $1,500–$10,500; actual tax savings depend on local mill rate.
