Bill > HB888

This bill expands eligibility for a property tax credit in Washington County for disabled veterans by including certain members of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Public Health Service, who are now considered part of the "uniformed services" for the purpose of this credit. A "disabled veteran" is defined as someone honorably discharged with a permanent service-connected disability, such as blindness, that is not due to their own misconduct. The credit applies to a disabled veteran's or their surviving spouse's dwelling house, which is their legal residence occupied by no more than two families, and the credit amount is a percentage of the property tax equal to the veteran's disability rating. The bill also clarifies that surviving spouses can continue to receive the credit if they own and reside in the dwelling house that was previously owned by the disabled veteran.
