Reports To You:
BY C. E. SEGER
Gold Beach. Ore.
Oregon’s disabled veterans,
war widows, of the Mexican, In
dian and Civil wars eligible for
$1000 property tax exemptions
have until April 1 to apply at ।
their county assessor’s office, thej
Oregon department of veterans’|
affairs cautioned, this week.
Chapter 412, Oregon laws, 1945, |
provides an exemption "not to
exceed $1000 of the taxable value
of the property" of the following
residents:
1. Any honorably discharged
union veteran of the Mexican
war, the Civil War or Indian
wars.
2. Any honorably discharged
veteran of any other American
war who, as officially certified by
the U. S. Veterans administra
tion. may bt' rated as having dis
abilities of 40 per cent or more.
3. Any honorably discharged
veteran who is rated by a phy
sician, but not by the VA. as
having disabilities of 40 per cent
or more, provided he has not re
ceived mor than $1500 in the
past calender year as pension or
retirement pay for military serv
ice.
4. Widow, remaining unmar
ried, of any honorably discharged
veteran of any American war.
The state veterans’ department
emphasizes the fact that para
graphs 2 and 3 of the tax exemp
tion law should not be confused,
and cited legal opinion of the
PAGE THREB
the World’s Best Climate
state tax commission dated Feb.
15, which points out that each
of these sections stands by itself.
In other words, there is no
limit on the amount of pension
or compensation which may be
received by a veteran whose dis
ability is rated as 40 per cent
or more by the VA. The. $1500
limitation applies only to thsoe
whose disabilities are rated by a
private physician.
Veterans in
this category must submit a
statement of last year’s pension
or retirement pay along with a
physician’s certificate when ap-
plying for the tax exemption.
Those veterans with the
recognized disabilities should im-
mediately write the veterans ad-
ministration's regional office, 208
S. W. 5th Ave., Portland, for a
current Cetrified statement to
submit to the county assessor.
The county service officer urges
all who are eligible to file
same.
