Property tax: exemptions; homestead property tax exemption for the surviving spouse of an emergency first responder killed in the line of duty; provide for. Amends sec. 7b of 1893 PA 206 (MCL 211.7b).
SB 110 adds a property tax exemption for the surviving spouse of an emergency first responder (police, firefighter, etc.) who died while on duty. It directly affects surviving spouses who own their primary residence (homestead) and do not remarry. The bill expands existing homestead tax exemptions - previously limited to disabled veterans and their spouses - to include this group, allowing them to avoid property taxes on their home indefinitely. To qualify, the spouse must apply annually by December 31, and the exemption applies to any homestead property they own, including property acquired after the first responder's death.
