Shauna, Thank you for these great info. Exaectly what i was looking for. Can you give out more info regarding the "Non-Primary Resident of A 100% Disabled Veteran". I am actually on this boat right now and can't figure out how to file for it. Do i need a different paperwork from the VA other than my 100% Dv letter?

[@VADisabilityGroup]

Thanks for the input! This should help...... In Texas, a 100% disabled veteran receives a full property tax exemption on their primary residence, but what about other properties they own? Here's what you need to know: Benefits for Non-Primary Residence: * A 100% disabled veteran can still claim another exemption for their non-primary residence under Texas Tax Code Section 11.22. * This exemption applies to veterans with a service-connected disability rating of 10% or higher. * The amount of exemption depends on the veteran's disability rating. Stacking Exemptions: The good news is a 100% disabled veteran can receive **both** exemptions: * Full exemption on their primary residence (homestead exemption). * Partial exemption on their non-primary residence (disabled veteran's exemption). Resources: For more details and application procedures, consult resources from Texas veteran organizations or county appraisal districts: * Texas Veterans Commission ([www.tvc.texas.gov/](www.tvc.texas.gov/)) * TexVet ([comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/property-tax/exemptions/disabledvet-100-faq.php](comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/property-tax/exemptions/disabledvet-100-faq.php))

Enjoy keeping your money!

[@daveb2280]

@joseromero9933: If you are planning on buying a home beware of PIDS/LIDS/MUDS. These are separate taxing districts included with your property tax bill that are NOT exempt like your regular property taxes.

Thank you.

You're welcome!

Hi Shauna. Thank you for the great information. For a 100% P&T Veteran whose spouse owns the homestead primary residence property, how can the Veteran receive tax exemption status on that property?

[@VADisabilityGroup]

Thanks for the question! This gets tricky as it gets into specific legal questions. We preface this response with it's not legal advice. Generally, you must be on the property deed/title in question to avail yourself to the property tax exemption. It's possible a state might not require that, however, we are unaware of such. Generally in the overwhelming majority of states the Veteran must be on the deed. Usually this is accomplished by executing a legal document such as a "quit claim deed" or something similar. Once you are on the deed, you would apply for the exemption through your local taxing office. However, to be certain we would encourage you to reach out to that taxing official. They can likely give you the exact answer needed. All the best!

@@VADisabilityGroup Thank you. I meant to include that I live in Texas (Nieces County). I am working on filing a warranty deed to add my name.

[@VADisabilityGroup]

Thanks for the additional info. Not legal advice, but adding yourself via a warranty deed appears to be the common remedy in the majority of states.

[@TexpatVet]

Thank you again. I actually drafted the Warranty Deed. Once my wife signs it with a Notary Public, I will file it with the county clerk.

[@VADisabilityGroup]

You are on top of it! Nice job.
