Bill > SB3120

This bill amends Mississippi law to grant an unremarried surviving spouse of a totally disabled homeowner the same homestead exemption that the deceased spouse held. A homestead exemption is a property tax relief that reduces the amount of property taxes a homeowner pays on their primary residence. The bill clarifies that if a homeowner was totally disabled and qualified for this exemption, their surviving spouse, if they remain unmarried, will continue to receive that same exemption. This change aims to provide continued financial relief to surviving spouses who were dependent on the deceased's disability-related tax benefits.
