Disabled Veterans Property Tax Exemption
Full property tax exemption on your home
Michigan gives a 100% property tax exemption on the homestead of a veteran the VA has rated permanently and totally disabled (entitled to benefits at the 100% rate) or individually unemployable. An unremarried surviving spouse may also qualify.
Children of Veterans Tuition Grant
Undergraduate tuition assistance for children of veterans
Michigan's Children of Veterans Tuition Grant provides undergraduate tuition help to students aged 16–26 who are the natural or adopted child of a Michigan veteran who died, became totally & permanently disabled from a service-connected cause, or is MIA.
Free Recreation Passport (State Parks)
Free state park entry (Recreation Passport)
Medal of Honor recipients, 100% disabled veterans, and former POWs get free entry to Michigan facilities that require a Recreation Passport. The veteran must have the corresponding specialty license plate designation to gain access.
Free Hunting & Fishing Licenses
Free hunting/fishing licenses for 100% disabled vets
Michigan resident veterans rated permanently & totally disabled (100% rate) or individually unemployable can get any hunting or fishing license that doesn't require a separate application free of charge.
