This exemption is applicable only to their primary residence. ### Eligibility for Disabled Veterans Applicants must meet the following criteria.
The veteran must: * have received an honorable discharge and have established service-connected disability rated as 100% and permanent by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs * or disability rated as 100% and percent permanent through disability retirement benefits administered by the United States Department of Homeland Security or the Department of the Army, Navy, or Air Force, * or have individual unemployability status as determined by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.
## Eligibility for Gold Star Spouses Gold Star Spouse applicants must meet certain criteria.
Applicants must be a surviving spouse of a United States Armed Forces service member: * who died in the line of duty and who received a death gratuity from the Department of Defense, or * whose death resulted from a service-related injury or disease as determined by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, and who is receiving dependency and indemnity compensation from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.
“Surviving spouse” means an individual who was legally married to the veteran at the time of the veteran’s death and who has not remarried. The property must have been owned and occupied by the applicant since January 1 of the year in which they are applying for the exemption. A VA Benefit Summary Letter is required to be attached to the application at the time of submission.
## Reapplication Requirements Once granted, applicants are not required to reapply from the same address unless their VA status changes (for example, a change in the veteran's disability rating or loss of eligibility). If the applicant moves to a new property, they must submit a new application along with their VA Benefit Summary Letter to the county assessor’s office.
The resubmission must occur between January 1 and July 1 of the application year. ## Application Submission Applications with an attached VA Benefit Summary Letter must be submitted to the county tax assessor’s office between January 1 and July 1. Applications submitted to the Department of Military and Veterans Affairs will be delayed and possibly submitted after the July 1 deadline.
Applications for Veteran-Related Property Tax Exemptions Qualifying Disabled Veteran and Gold Star Spouse Property Tax FAQ ## [](https://vets. colorado. gov/property-tax-exemption)Colorado Property Tax Exemptions: FAQs for Veterans & Seniors ### Eligibility & Definitions What are the definitions used to determine eligibility?
To qualify for the property tax exemption as a veteran, you must meet the following criteria: * Service: Served on active duty for at least 24 months (including National Guard members called to active service) and received an Honorable Discharge. * Disability Rating: Must have a service-connected disability rated as 100% Permanent and Total by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
* Unemployability: Veterans with "Individual Unemployability" (TDIU) status qualify if they are rated at least 70% but are compensated at the 100% rate. * Occupancy: You must be an owner-occupier of a residential property. This must be your primary residence where you live at least 51% of the year and pay Colorado resident taxes.
What if my home is in a Trust or I am in a care facility? Trusts: You still qualify if the property is held in a trust, corporate partnership, or legal entity solely for estate planning purposes. Health Facilities: If you are temporarily in a nursing home or assisted living facility, the property remains your primary residence as long as it is unoccupied or occupied only by your spouse or financial dependents.
Can I apply outside of these dates? No. Applications received after the deadline may not be processed for the current year. Any applications received between July 2 and December 31 will not be held; they are typically destroyed for security reasons, and you will need to re-apply when the window re-opens on January 1.
### The Application Packet What documents do I need to submit? Your packet must be complete to be processed. Include: * The Official Application: Downloaded from theDOLA Property Tax Division or picked up at your Assessor’s office.
* VA Benefit Summary Letter: Also known as an Award Letter. It must show your 100% P&T status. * Note: While letters don't "expire," most Assessors require one dated within the last 365 days.
* For Gold Star Spouses: If no Summary Letter is available, submit DD Form 1300 (Report of Casualty). Do I need to include my Social Security Number or info for dependents? Yes.
These fields are required by the state to verify your identity and prevent multiple exemptions on different properties. To protect your privacy, we recommend mailing or hand-delivering your packet rather than using unencrypted email. ### Qualification Categories If approved, how much does the State of Colorado exempt from my home’s actual value?

* Gold Star Spouses: Spouses of service members who died in the line of duty or from service-connected causes (remarriage does not disqualify you). * Surviving Spouses: Spouses of veterans who previously received the exemption, provided you have not remarried and still live in the same home. * Senior Citizens: Must be at least 65 years old (as of Jan 1) and have owned/occupied the home for at least 10 consecutive years.
### Deadlines & Submission Where do I submit my application? All application packets must be submitted directly to your local County Assessor. Important: Do not mail or fax your application to the Division of Veterans Affairs or DOLA.

Expressions of interest close October 2, 2026.
Read articleCummings Foundation grew its annual local program from $30 million to $35 million for 2026 awards, but the dollar increase is the smaller story. Nearly every grant now flows as unrestricted general operating support — the funding nonprofits ask for most and receive least. For eligible Massachusetts organizations, the 2027 cycle opens July 15 with a September 16 letter-of-inquiry deadline. Here is who qualifies, why the shift to operating support changes the calculus, and how a small nonprofit should approach a program that hands out 150 grants a year, most of them chosen by community volunteers.
Read articleCummings Foundation raised its annual local grant program from $30M to $35M and is now awarding nearly all of it as unrestricted general operating support — including 25 grants paid over a full 10 years. Letters of inquiry for the 2027 cycle opened July 15 and close September 16, 2026.
