Bill > HB1168

This bill expands property tax exemptions for qualified veterans by allowing individuals rated by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) as individually unemployable to receive a $14,000 deduction from their property's assessed value, in addition to those who are totally disabled or at least 62 years old with a 10% disability. This expanded eligibility also extends to the surviving spouse of such a veteran, provided they meet certain ownership requirements. The bill also mandates that property tax statements include educational information about this and other veteran-related tax deductions and credits, aiming to ensure eligible taxpayers are aware of and can access these benefits.
