Alabama helps veterans get home loans easier
Taxation and Revenue; Homestead ad valorum taxes of certain veterans prohibited from inclusion in debt-to-income ratio under certain circumstances
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would make it easier for some veterans to get home loans by not counting their property taxes when banks check their money.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill would help certain veterans get loans for homes or other things. Right now, banks look at all your debts, including property taxes, when deciding if you can borrow money. This bill would stop banks from counting property taxes for some veterans, which could make their debt look smaller and help them qualify for loans. Some might worry this changes how banks figure out risk. While this bill is currently on hold, if it were to become active again, citizens would want to understand how it helps veterans and if it changes how loans are given out.
