AN ACT CONCERNING A PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION FOR CERTAIN DISABLED VETERANS.

SB 720 expands Connecticut's property tax exemption for disabled veterans to include both the dwelling and the land it sits on, rather than covering only the dwelling itself. It also clarifies that veterans must have a service-connected disability rating of 100% (permanent and total) from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to qualify for the exemption. This bill directly affects eligible disabled veterans who own homes in Connecticut and meet the specified disability criteria. The changes provide clearer eligibility requirements and broaden the tax benefit to cover property land, not just the home structure.
