Michigan Disabled Veteran Property Tax Exemption
State of Michigan
About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs Michigan Disabled Veteran Property Tax Exemption in its Detroit, MI research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.
Michigan fully exempts the homestead of veterans who are 100% permanently and totally disabled (VA-rated), or who received VA specially adapted housing aid, or are rated individually unemployable. No income limit. As of 2025, existing eligible veterans no longer need to reapply. Un-remarried surviving spouses also qualify. This is a permanent annual savings that can be redirected to home repairs.
