VA Loans in Oregon
Oregon offers a property tax exemption for disabled veterans and their surviving spouses, along with a deferral program for those who need it. The federal VA loan benefit is the same in every state: eligible buyers can buy with no down payment and competitive rates.
Oregon benefits for veterans
Property tax relief for veterans
Veterans certified by the VA or their branch of service as having a substantial disability, or certified each year by a licensed physician, may exempt part of their homestead's assessed value from property taxes. A larger amount applies when the disability is service-connected, and amounts rise each year.
An unremarried surviving spouse or partner can qualify in certain cases, such as when the veteran died from a service-connected condition.
How to apply: File the claim with the county assessor by the spring deadline.
Other housing-related benefits
- Disabled veterans who receive Social Security disability benefits may qualify to have the state pay their property taxes through a deferral program, repaid later.
