Ohio benefits at your rating
Ohio's disabled veteran homestead exemption shields $58,000 of your home's market value from property tax for veterans with a total (100%) service-connected (SC) disability rating, with no income test - Ohio Revised Code 323.151(F). Veterans rated 100% also get free Veteran with Disabilities license plates and pay no registration fees on up to two vehicles, free hunting and fishing licenses, and free camping at Ohio state parks; all veterans get 10% off park stays year-round. The War Orphans Scholarship helps children of deceased or severely disabled veterans pay for college, veterans get 20% extra credit on state civil service exams, and two veterans homes (Sandusky and Georgetown) plus the Military Injury Relief Fund round out the package.
All 10 categories are listed for 0% combined, rating status Unselected. A program that needs a higher rating stays in its category. Study-list confidence marker: High.
