About This Program

Louisiana Disabled Veteran Property Tax Exemption is available to homeowners in Baton Rouge, LA.

Louisiana provides additional property tax exemptions on top of the homestead exemption for disabled veterans.

Veterans rated 50-69% receive an extra $2,500 exemption; those rated 70-99% receive an extra $4,500 exemption. Surviving spouses of qualifying veterans may also be eligible.

100% disabled veterans with homestead exemption effectively pay zero property taxes on their primary residence (only minimum tax applies).
