Bill > H2706

This bill establishes a homestead exemption for disabled veterans in Massachusetts. Specifically, it amends the state's property tax laws to provide a full property tax exemption for real estate owned and used as the residence or domicile of a veteran who, as a result of their military service, has suffered a permanent and total disability. The exemption can also be transferred to the surviving spouse of the disabled veteran under certain conditions. Additionally, the bill expands the existing property tax exemption for certain disabled veterans to include those who are hemiplegic or must use a wheelchair for mobility.
