Property with an assessed value up to $75,000, owned and used exclusively by a disabled veteran or the spouse or unmarried surviving spouse of the veteran, as a home, is exempt.
A disabled veteran is a person who has served in the Armed Forces of the US and whose disability is such that the Federal Government has authorized payment for purchase or construction of Specially Adapted Housing.
This exemption applies only to housing where Federal funds have been used to purchase or construct special adaptations to suit the veterans disability.
Annual certification must be made by the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs to the Illinois Department of Revenue, who then certifies the list of eligible veterans to the County.
Veterans may obtain applications from the IL Dept. of Veterans Affairs.
