Property Tax - Credit for Dwelling House of Disabled Veterans and Surviving Spouses - Alterations

Repealed the previous requirement that veterans must have at least 75% disability or a permanent 50% disability; the new version allows local governments to set their own disability rating thresholds.

Added a new category for veterans with a nonpermanent 100% disability caused by blindness or other disabling conditions, provided it was not due to misconduct.

Introduced specific income limits ($100,000 for individual filers, $200,000 for joint filers) as a baseline, but explicitly authorized local governments to create additional or different income criteria.

Extended the credit to surviving spouses of disabled veterans, allowing local governments to define the amount and duration of the credit for them.

Added a provision prohibiting county or municipal employees from inspecting a veteran's certificate of disability, ensuring privacy during the application process.

Updated the definition of 'dwelling house' to explicitly include properties occupied by not more than two families.

Changed the default credit calculation from 50% for 75%+ disability to 50% for 70%+ disability, and 25% for 50%-69% disability, though local governments can override these amounts.
