Bill > HB2044

This bill amends the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to further provide for the exemption from real estate taxes for disabled veterans and their surviving spouses. The bill outlines the conditions under which an individual who is a resident of Pennsylvania and has been honorably discharged from the U.S. armed forces can be exempt from paying real estate taxes on their principal dwelling, including if the individual is blind, paraplegic, has lost two or more limbs, or has a 100% service-connected disability. The bill also extends the exemption to the unmarried surviving spouse of an eligible veteran if the State Veterans' Commission determines the spouse is in need of the exemption.
