About This Program

The Grant Map catalogs Disabled Veterans Homestead Deduction in its Washington, DC research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.

DC reduces the assessed value of a qualifying veteran's primary residence by $445,000, resulting in approximately $3,780 in annual property tax savings. Eligible veterans must have a total and permanent service-connected disability (100% rating or IU) as certified by the VA. Household income must be under $163,500 (TY2026). This deduction cannot be combined with the Senior/Disabled Tax Relief or Assessment Cap Credit.

DC residential tax rate ~$0.85/$100 × $445,000 deduction ≈ $3,782/yr savings.
