AI Summary
This bill increases the property tax exemption for disabled ex-servicemembers in Florida from $5,000 to $10,000. The exemption applies to veterans who are bona fide state residents, were discharged under honorable conditions, and have been disabled by at least 10 percent due to military service during wartime or by misfortune. To claim the exemption, veterans must provide a disability certificate from the United States Government or the Department of Veterans Affairs to their county property appraiser. The unremarried surviving spouse of a disabled ex-servicemember is also eligible for this tax exemption. The changes will first be applied to the 2026 tax roll, and the bill will take effect on July 1, 2025, providing increased tax relief for disabled veterans and their surviving spouses.
