Is there tax relief for Disabled Veterans?
A veteran who is rated 100% disabled, blind, or a paraplegic due to a service-connected disability incurred while in the armed forces (or the unmarried surviving spouse of such veteran) may be eligible for an exemption of up to $150,000 off the assessed value of their home. An application must be filed with the Assessor's Office to determine eligibility for this program. For more information, call (925) 313-7481.
