Confused does anyone have a idea

I am 100% smc-s I severed feb98-feb2001. I live in NJ and was wondering if i can apply for the NJ property tax exemption. My question is I never saw combat and only deployed to the MFO in sinai egypt, and the rules for active war time vet per NJ are New Jersey amended wartime service criteria for the 100% Disabled Veteran’s Property Tax Exemption effective January 16, 2018. Wartime service in a specified geographic location for a minimum number of days is no longer required. If the veteran was on active duty during any of the statutory service periods listed above, he or she meets the wartime service criterion for exemption

Shouldn't you ask this question of the tax office in the county you live in?

As Kanewnut mention you may want to ask your tax appraisal office in your county.

It says you need to be a war veteran with P&T Disability for the complete property exemption other wise its 250.00 deduction with Honorable Discharge.

Normally its any Veteran with a 100% rating would qualify for this benefit..however each state varies

Apply.  Let them tell you no, if you dont qualify.  We dont know how they will interpret these rules.  Some do so liberally in favor of the Veteran.
