Colorado exempts 50 percent of the first $200,000 of the actual value of your primary residence from property tax if you have a 100 percent permanent service-connected disability rating or an individual unemployability rating, or if you are the surviving spouse of a service member who died in the line of duty or of a veteran who died from a service-connected condition.
Apply to your local county assessor, not the state, between January 1 and July 1 of the year you qualify.
Your VA letter showing a 100 percent permanent service-connected or individual unemployability rating, or, for a surviving spouse, proof of the Department of Defense death gratuity or your DIC award. You also need proof you owned and lived in the home on January 1.
