Wow, thanks for sharing this info! My husband is a vet also, 70% disabled, only because they refuse to give him more for disabilities they acknowledge he has. He just hasn’t had the time to push it further yet. At some point after years of back and forth with the VA you just get so disgusted you put it aside for awhile. However we didn’t know about checking into if he would get a discount per tax rate on our home. Though our taxes here where we live in Alabama are low compared to other places like Florida (I know this because my mom has a house in Florida, well she passed away in 2017, now Sis owns it). But still worth looking into to save what we can. Our property taxes are under $700 a yr, so not bad. Believe we get a discount on our vehicles tags, which we have disabled vet license plates. Funny people will tell my husband Thank You for your service, and I’m like how did they know, then me... ?♀️ Lol.
I'm glad you are getting a break on your taxes, but I don't think many people are wishing they were 100% disabled, just so they could get a tax break, right?
What I'm saying is that the disability comes with it's own downside.
How are they limited to a certain amount and can't go up? Is this a program in your state? I have a relative who is getting ready to have to sell the house they've owned for 20+ years because her husband is 100% disabled (not a veteran, though) and they can't afford the property tax anymore. Any info would be appreciated.
Washington State. Yeah. I was just reading about their programs a little while ago. Dammit. They live in one of the worst states in the union, unfortunately. I wish they lived in WA. Ok, thanks for the info. And good luck with your situation, fren.
You too! WA is very lefty but there's a strong holdout of veterans and active duty military. The scenery is beautiful, the politics are hideous and fraudulent.
I live in Mo and we have what is called circuit breaker for disabled people and seniors. It helps tremendously. The taxes are still there but they can get a refund of a certain amount depending on the income.
May I ask what state? My husband is 100% disabled and our property taxes are limited to a certain amount and can never go up but zero would be great!

Please seek out natural alternatives... the doctors just medicate to turn off the alarm lights instead of addressing the root issues.
Nice! My husband keeps mentioning FL...lol

This whole system is just horrible. Property tax and income tax are an abomination.
