Pennsylvania benefits for veterans

Property tax relief for veterans

Honorably discharged veterans who served during a period of war and are rated by the VA as permanently and totally disabled, individually unemployable, or blind, paraplegic or missing two or more limbs from service may qualify for an exemption from real estate taxes on their principal dwelling.

The program considers financial need, and surviving spouses of qualifying veterans can apply too. Veterans' benefits are no longer counted as income for the need assessment.

How to apply: Apply through the director of veterans affairs in your county.
