Ohio Disabled Veteran Homestead Property Tax Relief

Local Ohio county auditor

$50,000 of assessed home value exempt from property tax

You can exempt $50,000 of the assessed value of your primary home from property tax if you have a 100 percent disability rating from the VA. This is the expanded homestead exemption for disabled veterans, and an unremarried surviving spouse can keep it.

Check eligibility

How to apply

Apply through the county auditor in the county where the home is located, not the state. Use the Homestead Exemption Application for Disabled Veterans and Surviving Spouses (form DTE 105I) and ask the auditor to confirm the filing deadline for your county.

What you'll need

Your VA award letter showing a 100 percent rating or payment at the 100 percent rate for individual unemployability, proof that you own the home and live in it, and, if you are the surviving spouse, the veteran’s death certificate.

Eligibility

You own and occupy the property as your primary residence in Ohio
You served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces and have a 100 percent service-connected disability rating, or you are paid at the 100 percent rate for individual unemployability
If you are claiming as an unremarried surviving spouse, the veteran was receiving the homestead exemption in the year they died, you occupied the homestead when they died, and you have acquired ownership of it or continue to occupy it
