Bill Summary

Relative to property tax relief for 100% disabled veterans

AI Summary

This bill seeks to provide property tax relief for 100% disabled veterans in Massachusetts. The key provisions are: 1) real estate owned and occupied as a domicile by 100% disabled veterans who are 65 years of age or older and have been Massachusetts residents for at least 6 months prior to entering the armed forces or 1 year prior to filing for the exemption will be eligible for a property tax exemption equal to the percentage of the veteran's permanent, service-connected disability; 2) if the property is greater than a single-family house, only the value of the part occupied by the veteran will be exempted; 3) the exemption will continue for the surviving spouse who is 65 or older and remains an owner and occupant of the domicile; and 4) the state will reimburse the city or town for the amount of the tax that would have been collected for this exemption.
