Utah Veteran tax-relief overview
Utah's Property Tax Publication 36 (revised April 2026) provides a disabled-Veteran exemption of up to $535,459 of taxable residential value, scaled by qualifying disability and unemployability classification. At least 10% service-related disability is required. Eligible unmarried surviving spouses and minor orphans may qualify, and the exemption may apply to tangible personal property such as vehicles. File proof of service and disability or death with the county.
An agency must make the actual eligibility decision.
The program is source-verified, but its eligibility rules are not automated in this record.

Why this result appeared
No personal scenario was used. This neutral catalog view does not imply that you qualify.
Manual requirements
- Confirm qualifying disability and any unemployability classification, ownership, county application, the current tax-year maximum, personal-property allocation and unmarried surviving-spouse or minor-orphan requirements.
- Confirm ownership of the property claimed; a vehicle or tangible-personal-property path does not require an owned primary residence.
- Veteran pathway requirement to confirm with the agency: At least a 10% rating. Separate family or alternative paths may differ.
- This overview does not screen individual eligibility. Confirm who is applying, whose service or award establishes eligibility, and the chosen program’s ownership and other requirements.
- Confirm the current rule and application with the administering state, county, municipality, or assessor before making a financial decision.
Suggested application steps
- Open the linked official state agency and locate the current tax-relief instructions and form.
- Confirm local participation, the current tax year, filing deadline, and required VA certification with the administering office.
- Submit the official application and retain the agency's decision or receipt.
Documents to consider
- DD214 or other qualifying discharge or service record
- Current VA decision, rating verification, or benefit summary requested by the program
- Deed, tax bill, and primary-residence proof
- Income, county, municipal, or assessor documents when required
Limits and caveats
- This record is a verified starting point for a key statewide tax pathway, not an exhaustive inventory of every state, county, or municipal Veteran benefit.
- The VA roundup used for cross-checking was published in 2025 and warns that details can change; the linked state agency and administering office control.
- A screening result is educational and is not an eligibility or tax determination.
