Veteran must be totally disabled or must be 62 years old with a 10% service-connected disability rating. There is an assessed value limit of $200,000. Property Tax Deduction for Wartime Veterans: $24,960 deduction for wartime veterans with at least a 10% service-connected disability rating. There is no assessed value limit for this benefit. Property Tax Combination for Certain Disabled Wartime Veterans: A veteran who served during a period of war and is at least 62 years old with a 10% service-connected disability rating OR has a permanent and total service-connected disability rating at any age AND whose home’s assessed value is $200,000 or less, can receive both property tax deductions for a total of $38,960.

Military Relief Fund
The Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs has expanded the eligibility of the Military Family Relief Fund—MFRF—to Hoosier veterans and their families across the state by offering an emergency financial assistance fund.
The MFRF is focused on ensuring Indiana veterans and the Indiana service community can have access to emergency financial assistance which provides up to $2,500 to cover their most central and basic needs:
- Housing (rent / Mortgage)
- Utilities
- Food
- Current Medical Expenses
- Transportation (vehicle payment/basic emergency repairs /insurance)
Indiana veterans are encouraged to contact their local County Veteran Service Officers (CVSO). The CVSO is an essential, local expert on state and federal veteran benefits and can provide valuable information on how to access these many programs.

The Site Visit
 |
The response to last week’s Site Visit was just overwhelming! Congratulations to Danelle, Matt, Lesa, Jennie, Chris, and Michael for quickly identifying Enterprise Pointe in Angola (pictured above). We should also give a standing ovation to Lesa and Jennie for both correctly answering “All of the above†for the bonus points within minutes of receiving last week’s Note.
Enterprise Pointe located at 907 S. Wayne Street in Angola is less than a half mile to “The Mound†in the center of town and less than a mile of Steuben County’s three largest employers. The property consists of 50 two-bedroom units and co-working office and entrepreneur space for creative developers, designers, artisans, inventors, engineers, and professionals.  The development brought together multiple partnerships, most notably Brightpoint, Steuben County Economic Development Corporation, and Keller Development.

We are staying in northern Indiana this week and will be visiting a site (pictured above) that is dedicated to our Indiana Veterans. So, lets jump on I-90 West to a city adjacent to the Indiana Dunes National Park.
