Disabled Veterans Exemption

In 2013 the State Tax Commission established P.A. 161, which amended MCL 211.7b relating to the exemption for disabled veterans. Real property owned and used as a homestead by the disabled veteran or their un-remarried surviving spouse may be eligible for the exemption. To be eligible the disabled veteran must have been honorably discharged from the armed forces of the United States and they must be a Michigan resident. Additionally, they must meet one of the following criteria:

(a) has been determined by the United States department of veterans’ affairs to be permanently and totally disabled as a result of military service and entitled to veterans benefits at the 100% rate.

(b) has a certificate from the United States veterans’ administration, or its successors, certifying that he or she is receiving or has received pecuniary assistance due to disability for specially adapted housing.

The disabled veteran must have some form of documentation from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to qualify for the exemption.

To apply for the exemption the disabled veteran, their un-remarried surviving spouse or their legal designee must annually(usually in January or February of each year) file an affidavit Form 5107 along with their documentation/letter from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs with the local assessor.
