The best local resource for Minnesota Veterans is our County Veterans Service Officers. They are "boots on the ground" in your local community and are certified by the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs and accredited by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to provide assistance in applying for all state and federal veterans benefits. Find yours by going to: https://www.macvso.org/find-a-cvso.html

Did you know that by statute every county in the State of Minnesota shall hire a County Veterans Service Officer? The County Veteran Service Officers of Minnesota are here to ensure that all Veterans, their families and survivors receive all of the benefits and services they so well deserve for the hardships they have endured.

For Minnesota State Parks, go into the office at any Park and show you VIC Card from the VAMC. To apply for your property Tax exemption, your best bet is to talk to your County Veteran Service Officer (CVSO). If you do not know yours (and you should as they are a big help) you can find them here: https://www.macvso.org/find-a-cvso.html
