Bill Summary

AN ACT TO INCREASE THE DISABLED VETERAN PROPERTY TAX HOMESTEAD EXCLUSION.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to increase the property tax homestead exclusion for disabled veterans in North Carolina by raising the excluded appraised value from $45,000 to $54,000. Under current law, qualifying disabled veterans can exclude a portion of their primary residence's appraised value from taxation, which means they pay lower property taxes. The bill specifically amends the existing statute to increase the exclusion amount by $9,000, providing additional tax relief for disabled veterans who own and occupy their homes. The changes will take effect for tax years beginning on or after July 1, 2025, giving local tax authorities and homeowners time to prepare for the new exclusion amount. Importantly, the bill maintains the existing provision that a qualifying veteran may not receive additional property tax relief beyond this exclusion, ensuring the tax benefit remains targeted and consistent.
