Disabled Veterans & Surviving Spouses
FULL REAL ESTATE TAX EXEMPTION -
New Jersey's Constitution and Tax Laws provide that certain totally and
permanently disabled war veterans or the surviving spouses of such
disabled war veterans or the surviving spouses of servicepersons who died
on wartime active duty be exempt from real estate taxes on their principal
residence and the lot on which that residence is situated.
To qualify for a real estate tax exemption as a veteran, you must be
honorably discharged from active wartime service in the US Armed Forces
and be VA certified as having service-connected total or 100% permanent
disability. You must be the full owner of and a permanent resident in the
dwelling house for which exemption is claimed and a legal or domiciliary
resident of New Jersey. Timely application must be made with the
municipal assessor of the taxing district where your home is currently
located. As a surviving spouse of a disabled veteran who met all of the
above eligibility requirements you, yourself, must not have remarried, must
also be a New Jersey resident and owner - occupant of the claimed
dwelling. Out-of-State residents and tenant occupants of rental dwellings
are not eligible for real estate tax exemption or retroactive refunds.

if you meet the basic eligibility requirements. If you think you meet the basic
criteria and have never applied for an exemption, please obtain initial
application Form D.V.S.S.E. from your municipal assessor and file it with
