Homestead Personal Property Tax Exemption Letters
The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs will begin mailing out tax exemption letters to qualified veterans sometime in February 2010. Please allow VA time to get these letters out to you before requesting one from the Regional Office. The old VA Form 21-5455 is obsolete, so watch your mail closely for the new letter which indicates your disability status. If your County Tax Collector does not accept this new letter, please ask them to ask the County Tax Collector Association President for clarification.
