This exemption is free to file yourself with your county Assessor — the form and steps are right above, and your local County Veterans Service Officer can also help at no cost.
If you'd rather not deal with the paperwork, we'll prepare and file it for you as an optional done-for-you service — a flat fee, and you only pay if your exemption is approved. We pull and organize your VA documents, complete the correct form, and submit it, then send you a copy.
We are a private filing-assistance service, not the VA or a government agency, and not a law firm. We do not charge for VA disability claims — this is help with a state/county property tax exemption that uses your existing VA rating.
