Utah’s property tax exemption for disabled veterans.

Exemption scales with your rating, up to $535,459 of taxable value. 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: An exemption of taxable value proportional to your disability rating, against a cap of $535,459 (2025, adjusted for inflation annually). At 100% the full cap is exempt, which zeroes out the tax on most Utah homes; at 50% roughly half the cap is exempt.
Below 100%: Proportional from a 10% rating up: your percentage times the cap. Leftover exemption can even apply to tangible personal property like a vehicle.
Income test: None. The exemption does not depend on your income.
Surviving spouses: The unmarried surviving spouse (or minor orphans) of a qualifying deceased veteran can claim the same exemption.
How to apply: Apply through your county's assessor or auditor (form PT-025) with proof of service and your VA disability letter. After the initial filing most counties carry it forward.
Worth knowing: One of the few proportional systems, like New Mexico's. Because the cap is high and indexed, a 100% rating eliminates the bill on all but the most expensive homes.

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. 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.
