100% P&T: $300,000 of market value excluded; 70%+: $150,000. Here is who qualifies, what it covers, and how to claim it.
Checked against state sources · July 16, 2026
- At a 100% permanent & total rating
- A market value exclusion removes $300,000 of the home's value from taxation for veterans with a 100% permanent and total service-connected rating. It lowers the taxable value rather than zeroing the bill.
- Below 100%
- Veterans rated 70% or higher (but not 100% P&T) get a $150,000 exclusion. Below 70% there is no exclusion tier.
- Income test
- None. The exemption does not depend on your income.
- Surviving spouses
- A surviving spouse holding legal title and living in the home keeps the $300,000 exclusion, as can a primary family caregiver of a qualifying veteran.
- How to apply
- Apply through your county assessor by December 31 for taxes payable the following year, with your DD-214 and VA disability documentation.
- Worth knowing
- Bills to raise the amounts (to $200,000 and $400,000) were introduced in the 2025 session but did not pass; $150,000/$300,000 remain the law. On a typical Minnesota home the 100% exclusion wipes out most, but not all, of the bill.
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.
