That live in Idaho, AK, AZ, ID, MT, WY, ND.
In Florida veterans with 100% disability are exempt from paying property tax, it may not seem like much, but it would change my mind about wanting to move, I know my back and legs would give me hell in the cold, but I am having a big problem with the heat, I am not talking about 98 outside, I can walk to my workshop, by the time I get out there, I am soaked to the bone, it almost to the point were I can't go outside to do anything. I went to the range, I also took 2 extra shirts and a towel.
So the question, do the states I have listed, do they have property tax exemption for vetsrated at 100%?

Tax Benefits for Veterans are primarily tied to income, & all retirement income is taxable prior to age 65. Disability Income is not taxed.
Property Tax Reductions & Exemptions
The state has rules allowing low income individuals to reduce their property taxes. These rules are based upon the income earned by the individual in a given year.
State Tax Exemption
When stationed outside the State of Idaho, active duty personnel are exempt from Idaho state income tax.

DAV Fact Sheet
quote:Property Tax Exemptions
Real property owned and occupied as the primary residence and permanent place of abode by a qualified disabled veteran whose disability was incurred or aggravated in the line of duty and whose disability has been rated as 50 percent or more by the military service or the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, is exempt from taxation on the first $150,000.00 of assessed valuation. Contact your local municipal tax assessors office by March 15 for exemption for current year.
Qualifications: 1. Honorably Discharged and you must be a Wyoming resident at the time of entry into the military service or you must have resided in Wyoming for three years prior to application. 2. Honorably discharged veterans (Wyoming residents) who were awarded the armed forces expeditionary medal or other authorized service or campaign medal indicating service for the United States in any armed conflict in a foreign country. 3. You must provide your separation papers (DD-214).
Exemption applies to county fees, not state fees. Maximum exemption is $800.00. Maximum yearly deduction is approximately $60.00 per year for license plates and $150.00 per year for property taxes. You must advise the county assessor of intent to use tax exemption annually until fully used. Deadline for notification is on or before the fourth Monday in May of the ensuing calendar year.
Surviving spouses of qualified veterans not re-married and fulfilling residence requirements can reopen exemption. It is a lifetime benefit with no maximum limit, except for the yearly limitations.
The current property tax exemption also applies to 100% service connected disabled veterans and veterans who have been granted service connected individual un-employability status certified by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.
Disabled veterans, after using lifetime $800 exemption, can continue getting that part of it based on percentage of disability certified by VA or a branch of armed forces.
quote:Property Tax Assessment Eligibility
Eligible disabled veterans and widows of veterans in Arizona are exempt for up to $3,000 in property taxes annually if the total assessment, or amount due, does not exceed $10,000. If the disabled veteran or widow's property tax exceeds $10,000, there is no exemption awarded. When assessing a veteran or widower's total property tax for this benefit, automobile value is not taken into consideration.
The 2007 ND State Legislature passed a bill allowing a property tax exemption for 50% and higher service connected disabled veterans on the first $120,000 of the home's valuation. To apply for the exemption, qualifying veterans can obtain an "Application for Property Tax Exemption" form from the office of the Ward County Tax Director located in the Ward County Courthouse or call 701-857-6430. For Minot city residents, contact the City of Minot Assessor's office at 701-857-4160. There is no means test, income or asset criteria to apply for the exemption.
Wi. does also
And if you move to the Wausau area, we've got a really nice (and inexpensive) public range.
And as long as I live here (for at least the next year), you'll almost always have someone who can help you with anything you need help with.
