Specifically, it grants this exemption to qualified homeowners who are honorably discharged American veterans, those who have reached 65 years of age and their unremarried surviving spouses, and active-duty members of the United States Armed Forces, with these provisions taking effect starting January 1, 2027. This expands upon existing exemptions that previously offered partial tax relief or had different eligibility criteria.
