Talk to a Specialist →North Carolina provides a property tax exclusion for honorably discharged veterans who are 100% permanently and totally disabled from a service-connected condition. The exclusion applies to the first $45,000 of appraised value of the primary residence. This is separate from and stackable with the homestead exclusion for 65+ buyers.
On a $500,000 Brunswick County home, the veteran exclusion removes $45,000 from the taxable value, saving approximately $154–$270/year in county and municipal taxes. Combined with the 65+ homestead exclusion (if income-eligible), a qualifying veteran can significantly reduce the annual property tax burden.

The clinic provides primary care, mental health, and some specialty services. Complex specialty care and inpatient services are handled at the Durham VA Medical Center, approximately 2.5 hours northwest of Wilmington.
Veterans in the Wilmington area should verify eligibility for the VA MISSION Act community care program, which allows qualifying veterans to receive care from non-VA providers (including Novant/NHRMC) when VA facilities are not accessible or timely. Confirm your specific eligibility with the Wilmington VA clinic before assuming community care coverage.
