Disabled Veterans Exemption Amendment
The Disabled Veterans Exemption Amendment was passed November 2006. The amendment was an expansion to the senior property tax exemption by including “qualifying disabled veterans”. Qualified disabled veterans will receive a 50% exemption on the first $200,000 of actual value on their 2012 tax bill payable in 2013 for their primary residence.

The deadline for filing an application to the Colorado Department of Military and Veterans Affairs, Division of Veterans Affairs is July 1 of the year in which the exemption is requested.
