Oregon’s property tax exemption for disabled veterans.
40%+: a modest assessed-value exemption that grows 3% a year. 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
- Oregon has no full exemption. War veterans rated 40% or more service-connected get $32,512 of assessed value exempted (2026 figure; it rises 3% each year). A lower tier of $27,092 covers veterans with a 40%+ disability that is not service-connected, with an income limit.
- Below 100%
- One threshold, not a ladder: anything at or above a 40% rating gets the same exemption amount.
- Income test
- None for the service-connected tier; the non-service-connected tier is income-tested.
- Surviving spouses
- Unremarried surviving spouses and registered domestic partners of qualifying war veterans can claim the exemption.
- How to apply
- File the claim with your county assessor between January 1 and April 1 for the tax year starting that July, with your VA rating letter.
- Worth knowing
- On a typical Oregon assessment this trims a few hundred dollars a year rather than eliminating the bill. Worth claiming, but plan your budget around most of the tax remaining.
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.
