Checked against state sources · July 16, 2026
- At a 100% permanent & total rating
- Kentucky's homestead exemption removes $49,100 (2025–2026 assessment years) from the home's assessed value for totally disabled veterans, at any age. The amount is recalculated every two years for inflation. Veterans with a total service-connected rating who receive compensation for the full assessment period qualify, and only need to apply once.
- Income test
- None. The exemption does not depend on your income.
- Surviving spouses
- There is no veteran-specific carryover; a surviving spouse can qualify for the same homestead exemption on their own at 65+ (or if totally disabled). Ask your county PVA.
- How to apply
- File form 62A350 with your county Property Valuation Administrator (PVA) with your VA disability documentation.
- Worth knowing
- Kentucky has no rating-tiered veteran exemption; the totally-disabled homestead exemption is the benefit. The dollar figure changes every odd year, so check the current amount.
Before you count on this: exemption law changes by legislative session, and counties administer the details. Confirm current amounts and deadlines with your county assessor or the official source below. Figures on this page were checked July 16, 2026.

A property-tax exemption lowers the monthly payment a lender counts in your file, which can raise what you qualify for.
