Bill > HB155

This bill amends Alabama law to remove the requirement for permanently and totally disabled veterans to annually verify their eligibility for a homestead exemption, which is a property tax break. Previously, even if a veteran was deemed permanently and totally disabled by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and qualified for this exemption, they still had to reconfirm their status each year. This bill, effective October 1, 2026, exempts these specific veterans from that annual verification process after their initial qualification, meaning they will not need to reapply or submit proof of their disability and income annually, unless they establish a new home or their disability status changes.
