Do veterans get an exemption on property taxes?
A small exemption on the assessed value of real property (or, if no real property is owned, on the assessed value of a motor vehicle) is provided for veterans. The original discharge papers (Form DD214) must be filed with the Town Clerk by October 1st to be eligible for the exemption, which will be applied to the Grand List for the subsequent year. Once the initial application is approved, it continues to be valid. Sherman veterans who meet certain income requirements are eligible for additional veterans exemptions. For further information, contact the Assessor’s Office at (860) 355-0376.
