The Veterans Homes Bill
Tax credit for disabled veterans' homes moves to county level
Property Tax - Credit for Dwelling House of Disabled Veterans and Surviving Spouses - Revisions
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, counties must give a property tax credit to disabled veterans and their surviving spouses on their homes.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Veterans could save money on their house taxes, but other residents may see higher taxes to cover the credit.
