About the Program
Washington cuts the property taxes of a veteran with a service-connected evaluation of at least 40%, or one who receives VA compensation at the 100% rate. You have to own and live in your home, and your income has to be under a limit that your county assessor can tell you. You need to meet the requirements by December 31 of the assessment year. The state page doesn’t say how much the reduction is or how to file, so start with your county assessor. The page also offers a screening tool that can give you an idea whether you qualify. It’s not official.
