Application for Military Record of Service

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 original 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.
