Discharge papers (known as DD214's) may be recorded as permanent records and
certified to perfect claims. In order to obtain a certified copy, the
document must have been presented and recorded at the Recorder's Office upon
discharge from service. If you did not record your discharge papers at that
time, and cannot locate the original, a copy of your discharge papers may be
obtained. The DD214 must be recorded before military exemption can be applied
toward property tax reduction.
MAIL REQUESTS MUST INCLUDE A COPY OF APPLICANT’S PHOTO ID
If you are unable to locate the original document a copy of your military
records may be obtained by completing the Request Pertaining to Military
Records form (see site below) and submitting it to the appropriate location
as shown on the back of the form.
