to have met many veterans in Cook County that have shared with me how these exemptions have helped them obtain homeownership.” Families receiving veteran related exemptions share how these benefits honor their service and have helped in their journey of homeownership.
with Disabilities Exemption, my family was able to purchase a home within our budget. It provides us security and the feeling that people care and are looking out for our veterans.” “Thank you for making
the Veterans Disability Exemption available to my family and countless other families across Cook County. The Exemption made the dream of homeownership a reality for my elderly parents. The
property tax savings made an otherwise unaffordable mortgage payment, affordable. My father’s service in Vietnam and related combat-connected disability zeroed out his property tax liability. Although my father recently passed away, as an eligible spouse of a
disabled veteran, my mother has peace of mind knowing that she can afford to live in her home and receive the same property tax savings that my father once enjoyed.”
My husband and I were able to buy a house which would have been out of our price range with the property taxes in that area. We needed a larger house for our growing “ family and using the Veterans with Disabilities Exemption made that possible!” The 2021
tax year exemption application period will begin in early 2022. Veteran homeowners who believe they may have been eligible in prior tax years can apply for a Certificate of Error. The Certificate of Error process provides homeowners an opportunity to redeem missing exemptions for the 2020, 2019, 2018, and 2017 tax years. For more information, visit www.cookcountyassessor.com.
