Bill > HB0068

This bill expands the property tax exemption for disabled veterans in Wyoming, specifically for those certified as having a permanent and total service-connected disability of 100% or being totally and permanently disabled according to departmental rules. Previously, the veteran's property tax exemption was generally limited to an annual reduction of $6,000 in assessed value. However, this legislation creates a new provision allowing eligible disabled veterans to receive an exemption for the full assessed value of their primary residence, including up to ten acres of associated land. The bill also clarifies that a surviving spouse who has not remarried and continues to reside in the property will remain eligible for this expanded exemption. Importantly, veterans or surviving spouses who do not qualify for or choose not to accept this full exemption can still opt for the existing $6,000 exemption. This expanded exemption will first apply to taxes assessed for the tax year beginning January 1, 2027.
