 The 'American Heroes Grant' is to provide a refund of County Taxes to anyone deployed by the military for a period of four months or more. The specifics to be eligible for this grant include the following:

 General Information

  • The grant period to be covered includes the 2007 through 2024 tax years.
  • The grant is available to all services/branches.
  • Deployment must be for a minimum of four (4) months.
  • Full County Tax refund for any year which includes part of the deployment.
