Bill > HB05303

This bill amends an existing property tax exemption for veterans with a service-connected permanent and total disability rating by expanding the exemption to include not just the dwelling itself, but also the land on which the dwelling is located. Currently, veterans with a total and permanent disability rating from the Department of Veterans Affairs may be eligible for a property tax exemption on their home, and this bill would extend that exemption to cover the entire property lot where the veteran's dwelling is situated. By broadening the tax exemption, the bill aims to provide additional financial relief to disabled veterans who own their homes, recognizing their service-related sacrifices. The proposed change would modify subdivision (83) of section 12-81 of the general statutes, effectively ensuring that disabled veterans receive a more comprehensive property tax benefit that encompasses both their residential structure and the land it occupies.
