Exemption for Disabled Veterans

Tax Exemption for Disabled Veterans

This program excludes the first forty-five thousand dollars ($45,000) of the appraised value of a permanent residence owned and occupied by a North Carolina Resident, who was discharged honorably or under honorable conditions, or a surviving spouse, who has not remarried, of a 100% disabled veteran discharged honorably or under honorable conditions. The disability must be 100% permanent total disability that is service-connected or the veteran must receive benefits for specially adapted housing under 38 U.S.C. 2101.

A disabled veteran who has a 100% permanent total disability that is service-connected must provide a Veteran’s Disability Certification from the VA or other federal agency. A disabled veteran who has received benefits for specially adapted housing under 38 U.S.C. 21 01 must show proof from the VA of the benefits received under the program.

The surviving spouse, who has not remarried, may also qualify if the veteran died after discharge due to a service-connected condition that did not rise to the level of total and permanent disability or if the service member died in the line of duty and the death was not the result of the service member’s willful misconduct. An unmarried surviving spouse of an honorably discharged disabled veteran must provide proof that the deceased spouse met all the requirements at the time of death.
