Disabled Veteran Tax Credit / Exemption
Larger credit — up to a full exemption for some disabled vets
New Hampshire offers an enhanced property tax credit for veterans with a service-connected total disability (well above the standard veterans' credit where towns adopt it), and a full property tax exemption for certain veterans (e.g. those with specially adapted housing or who are paraplegic).
