"If you are a disabled veteran who is 100 percent service disabled as a result of United States military service, or 70 percent disabled as a result of military service but unemployable, you are now exempt from paying property taxes.
Governor Snyder signed P.A. 161 of 2013 earlier this month, which amends MCL 211.7b.
According to the Public Act, the unmarried spouses of deceased veterans whose late husbands or wives fit the criteria are also exempt.
Gladwin County Veterans Affairs Director Ginny Grant says around 120 veterans in Gladwin County will now be exempt from property taxes based on that criteria.
Grant also has copies of the Affidavit that Veterans must fill out to apply for a disabled veterans exemption at the Veterans Affairs office; and said that Townships should also have the form.
It must be filled out and turned in before the Dec. 10 Board of Review.
If you are a Veteran and have any questions, please contact Ginny Grant at 989-426-4891."
This is what the Gladwin County exemption form looks like. Townships should have one as well. There is no standard state-mandated form, so please check with your local
veterans representative or Township. And if you know a Veteran in Michigan
who fits this criteria, please make sure they know about this.
The form must be filed soon.
