Disabled Veteran Tax Exemptions: File With the Appraisal District, Not the Tax Office

Fort Hood spans Bell and Coryell counties, so veteran tax questions come up often around Gatesville and Copperas Cove. Texas has property-tax breaks for disabled veterans, including a separate rule for 100% disabled-veteran homesteads.

File with Coryell Central Appraisal District, not the tax collector. Use Disabled Veterans Exemption Form 50-135. If the home is your main residence, pair it with the general homestead form.

Bring your disability paperwork. CCAD's Gatesville office is at 705 E. Main Street and answers at 254-865-6593. It also has a Copperas Cove office at 202 E. Robertson Avenue.
