Exemptions for veterans:

Lake County veterans are reminded they may be eligible for various exemptions on their property tax bills. The Veterans Assistance Commission of Lake County estimates there are 2,000 veterans who have not signed up for disabled veteran, homestead or other exemptions. The disabled veterans homestead exemption takes up to $5,000 off the appraised value of the home depending on the level of disability. A new state law raised the value of an exemption for special adapted housing work to $100,000 from $70,000 and includes homes provided to disabled veterans as gifts.
