About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs California Disabled Veterans' Property Tax Exemption in its Sacramento, CA research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.
California's Disabled Veterans' Exemption provides a significant property tax reduction for veterans with 100% service-connected disability rating or who are blind in both eyes or have lost the use of two or more limbs. The basic exemption reduces assessed value by $196,262; the low-income exemption reduces it by $294,394 (2025-26 amounts, adjusted annually). This translates to roughly $2,000-$3,200/year in tax savings.
