Bill > HB447

This bill expands property tax exemptions for disabled veterans by modifying existing state law to include veterans who own homes that have been specially adapted to meet their disability needs. Specifically, the bill broadens the current property tax exemption to cover veterans who have homes modified through the Veterans Administration (VA) Special Adapted Housing (SAH) or Special Home Adaptation (SHA) grants, as well as those who have sold such a home and purchased another. The bill also extends the exemption to veterans who own homes that are Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant or have been modified through the VA Hospital system. The existing law already provided a property tax exemption for disabled veterans, but this amendment significantly widens the scope of who qualifies for the exemption. The bill will take effect 60 days after its passage, giving local governments and tax assessors time to implement the new provisions.
