- Surviving spouses
- Gold Star spouses and surviving spouses of veterans who had the exemption can qualify to keep it.
- How to apply

A property-tax exemption lowers the monthly payment a lender counts in your file, which can raise what you qualify for. Run your numbers with the exemption’s effect via the buying-power calculator (use the property-tax override in advanced options), and see the funding fee guide for the other big disability-related saving.
