Disabled veterans property-tax exemption — Alpine Assessor (opens in a new tab)[23]Official instructions

Assessor-administered relief for a qualifying principal residence. This is a property-tax programme, not a county VA claims-assistance office.

How to get started
  1. Contact the Assessor about your circumstances and the appropriate exemption claim.
  2. Confirm the current rules, documentation and filing date with the Assessor.

Before you start

Information & documents
The county lists DD-214 and a complete VA ratings decision for basic or low-income claims. Surviving-spouse claims have separate dependency, marriage and death documentation. [24]
Availability
The county page says the basic exemption does not require annual renewal, but also contains a blanket annual-filing statement. Confirm the applicable filing requirement with the Assessor; a universal annual deadline is not asserted here. [25]
