Minnesota law provides full or partial valuation property tax exclusion for homesteads of disabled veterans with a disability rating of 70 percent or greater, as determined by the United States Department of Veteran Affairs.
Who is eligible?

- You may be eligible for a market value exclusion of up to $150,000 on homestead property if you are a United States military veteran with a service-connected disability of 70 percent or more.
United States Military Veterans with Total and Permanent Disability
- You may be eligible for a market value exclusion of up to $300,000 on homestead property if you are a United States military veteran with total (100 percent) and permanent service-connected disability.
You must be able to verify honorable discharge from the United States armed forces as indicated by U.S. Government Form DD214 or other official military discharge papers. You must also be certified by the United States Veterans Administration as having service-connected disability.
Applicants requiring information concerning their discharge or disability status must work with their County Veterans Service Office or the Veterans Administration to receive this information. The Assessor's Office is not responsible for determining disability status.
