Colorado Veterans and Property Taxes

[Sgt. Wilky]

Hello All,

Looking for Colorado vets who might be 100% TDIU, but actually rated with a lower rating. I'm asking because I'm 90%, but being paid at the 100%, because I'm TDIU. I was initially told that I didn't qualify for a property tax exemption, because you have to be rated at 100%. 

I have a friend who is in the exact same boat I am, 90%, but being paid at the 100% rate. He filed for the property tax exemption and was granted. I told him that was probably a mistake on their part, but he said it wasn't...

I'm trying to find the rules again. I contact my VSO and asked them, but waiting to hear back from them.

Do any of the Colorado vets know about this? Did the rules change?

Semper Fi,

In Colorado, you must be 100% scheduler not TDIU.

This is from the CDVA website "Qualifying Disabled Veteran applicants must have an honorable discharge and established a service-connected disability that has been rated by the United States Department of Homeland Security, or the Department of the Army, Navy or Air Force. Individuals being compensated at 100% rate due to individual unemployability do not qualify for this exemption."

Why don't you just ask the treasurer and assessor? They would know, they have to carry it out.

@brokensoldier244th I went to the website and it wasn't as specific as I was told before. I have the letter stating I'm at the 100% rate and it is total and permanent, so I just now sent the application and letter out!

Which is exactly what I was told, then my friend (who is a Vietnam Vet) said he got it, even though he's 90%, but TDIU, just like me. I went ahead and mailed the form, but I expect it'll get denied, and legally, it should get denied.
