Illinois amplia las exenciones del impuesto a la propiedad para veteranos, incluyendo a los veteranos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial
Cook County Treasurer's Office - 10/31/2025

En los últimos años, los legisladores de Illinois han promulgado cambios significativos en las exenciones del impuesto a la propiedad que benefician a los veteranos, incluyendo una disposición histórica para quienes sirvieron durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Estos cambios subrayan nuestro compromiso de apoyar a los veteranos en el Condado Cook y más allá.

El Código del Impuesto a la Propiedad de Illinois establece que los veteranos que sirvieron durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial están exentos de pagar impuestos a la propiedad en su residencia principal, sin importar su condición de discapacidad. Estos beneficios también se extienden a los cónyuges sobrevivientes no casados de veteranos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial que fallecieron debido a causas relacionadas con el servicio.

Los veteranos con discapacidades relacionadas con el servicio también califican según la gravedad de su discapacidad, certificada por el Departamento de Asuntos de Veteranos de los Estados Unidos. Es importante que los propietarios conozcan los detalles de esta exención:

  1. Exención estándar de vivienda para veteranos con discapacidades
    • Aquellos con un porcentaje de discapacidad entre el 30% y el 49% reciben una reducción de $2,500 en la valoración igualada de su vivienda (EAV, por sus siglas en inglés).
    • Los veteranos con discapacidades entre el 50% y el 69% reciben una exención de $5,000.
    • Los veteranos con una discapacidad del 70% o más reciben una exención del 100% de los impuestos a la propiedad sobre un valor de hasta $250,000 de EAV.
  2. Renovación y transferibilidad
    • La renovación automática de esta exención debido a la pandemia de COVID-19 ha finalizado. Los solicitantes deben volver a aplicar cada año para mantener la exención.
    • Los cónyuges sobrevivientes pueden conservar la exención o transferirla a otra residencia principal después del fallecimiento del veterano.
  3. Solicitud e información
    • Los criterios detallados de elegibilidad y los procedimientos de solicitud están disponibles en el sitio web de la Tesorera del Condado Cook en cookcountytreasurer.com.
    • Se alienta a los veteranos y sus familias a visitar el sitio web para obtener una guía paso a paso sobre el proceso de solicitud.

Esta exención no se trata solo de alivio financiero; es un testimonio de nuestro compromiso de honrar y reconocer el servicio de nuestros veteranos. Al ampliar el acceso a las exenciones del impuesto a la propiedad, brindamos estabilidad y seguridad financiera a quienes dieron tanto por servir a esta nación. Estos cambios están diseñados para otorgar a los veteranos y sus cónyuges sobrevivientes los beneficios que merecen sin tener que volver a solicitarlos con frecuencia.

A medida que se acerca el Día de los Veteranos, creo que es importante reafirmar nuestra responsabilidad colectiva de apoyar a quienes, en los momentos de necesidad de este país, respondieron al llamado para servir.

Para obtener información sobre las exenciones del impuesto a la propiedad y determinar la elegibilidad, visite cookcountytreasurer.com. Juntos, cumplamos con nuestro deber de honrar y apoyar a nuestros veteranos.
