§ 39-3-205. Exemption Applications - Penalty for Providing False Information - Confidentiality

(2.5) For the purpose of verifying the eligibility of each applicant for the exemption allowed to qualifying disabled veterans under section 39-3-203 (1.5) efficiently and with minimal inconvenience to each applicant, the division shall determine whether an applicant for the exemption is a qualifying disabled veteran. With respect to any application timely filed by July 1 pursuant to paragraph (b) of subsection (1) of this section, the division shall, if possible, determine whether the applicant is a qualifying disabled veteran and send notice of its determination to the applicant on or before the immediately succeeding August 1. If the division determines that the applicant is a qualifying disabled veteran, it shall also send notice of its determination and a copy of the exemption application to the assessor for the county where the property is located. If the division is unable to determine whether the applicant is a qualifying disabled veteran on or before said August 1, it shall send preliminary notice to both the applicant and the assessor that its determination is pending and shall follow up the preliminary notice by sending final notice of its ultimate determination to the applicant and, together with a copy of the exemption application, to the assessor as soon as possible thereafter.
