The Service Members Bill
Washington County expands property tax help for disabled service members
Washington County - Property Tax Credit for Disabled Veterans - Eligibility
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would help more disabled veterans, including those from NOAA and Public Health Service, pay less in property taxes in Washington County.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill is good news for disabled veterans in Washington County. It would make it easier for more of them to get a break on their property taxes, which could save them money each year. This is important because it recognizes the service of more people who have been hurt while serving our country, including those in NOAA and the Public Health Service. While the county might collect a little less in taxes, many would agree that helping these service members is a fair trade. People who support veterans will want this bill to pass.
