SBC Veterans May Be Eligible to Save Money on Their Property Taxes

Tri-Community NewsPlus

The County of San Bernardino is honored to support the brave men and women who have served our country. In partnership with Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk Josie Gonzales and the Department of Veterans Affairs, they remain committed to ensuring that veterans and their families receive the benefits and support they have earned.

If you are a veteran with a 100% service-connected disability rating from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, you may be eligible for a significant property tax exemption. This exemption is also available to veterans who are totally blind or have lost two or more limbs due to service-related injuries.

“This is an important benefit that will lead to housing stability and affordability for veterans experiencing skyrocketing costs associated with home ownership,” said San Bernardino County Veteran Affairs Director Matt Knox. “I encourage every eligible veteran to take advantage of this earned benefit.”

Qualifying veterans with a household income of $78,718 or less can receive a $262,950 exemption, while those with an annual income above that amount are eligible to receive a $175,298 exemption. In 2025, a total of 6,596 disabled veterans countywide qualified for the Disabled Veterans’ Property Tax Exemption, resulting in $10.9 million in property tax savings.

“As your San Bernardino County Assessor‑Recorder‑County Clerk, I am deeply honored to support our disabled veterans—individuals whose courage and sacrifices have helped safeguard the freedoms we cherish. This property tax exemption delivers meaningful relief that our veterans deserve. I encourage all eligible veterans and their families to take full advantage of this well-earned benefit,” said San Bernardino County Assessor‑Recorder‑County Clerk Josie Gonzales.

To take advantage of the Disabled Veterans’ Property Tax Exemption benefit, contact the office of Assessor-Recorder-County Clerk Josie Gonzales at 877-885-7654 or 909-387-8307, by email at [email protected], or visit arc.sbcounty.gov.
