PTAX-342-R
Annual Verification of Eligibility for Standard
Homestead Exemption for Veterans with Disabilities
Read this first
To continue to receive the Standard Homestead Exemption for Veterans with Disabilities (SHEVD), you must file Form PTAX-342-R each year
with your Chief County Assessment Officer (CCAO). Failure to do so may result in the termination of the exemption. Your service-connected
disability must be certified by the U.S. Department of Veterans’ Affairs.
Note: Only an un-remarried, surviving spouse of a veteran killed in the line of duty, or a veteran with a disability who previously received the
SHEVD can continue to receive the SHEVD provided the spouse has legal or beneficial title to the residential property. A surviving spouse that
remarries no longer qualifies for the SHEVD.
