Connecticut Veteran Benefits
Veteran and military benefits available in Connecticut: property-tax exemptions, tuition waivers, license and park-fee waivers, and more — each verified from an official Connecticut source.
Property Tax Exemption for 100% Disabled Veterans
Full exemption of your home (or one vehicle)
Connecticut fully exempts from property tax the primary residence a veteran with a 100% permanent & total service-connected disability owns and lives in — or, if the veteran doesn't own a home, one motor vehicle kept in the state. Additional exemptions exist for lower-income and disabled veterans.
Public College Tuition Waiver
Tuition-free at UConn, CSU & community colleges
Connecticut waives tuition for qualified veterans at the University of Connecticut, the Connecticut State Universities, and the 12 community-technical colleges, for credit-bearing undergraduate and graduate programs. Books, fees, parking, and room/board are not waived.
Disabled Veteran State Parks Pass
Free access to Connecticut state parks & forests
Connecticut offers a free Disabled Veteran Pass to state residents with a service-connected disability, providing access to Connecticut state parks and forests.
Discounted / Free Hunting & Fishing License
50% off (10%+ disabled); free if you've lost a limb
Connecticut charges a resident veteran with a 10%+ VA service-connected disability half price for a sport fishing license, and issues a free fishing or hunting license to a resident who has lost, or permanently lost the use of, one or more limbs (permits and stamps not included).
