A BILL for an Act to amend and reenact section 57-02-08.8 of the North Dakota Century Code, relating to the property tax credit for disabled veterans; and to provide an effective date.

This bill would allow North Dakota disabled veterans with a 50% or higher service-connected disability rating (or surviving spouses receiving VA dependency compensation) to claim a property tax credit equal to their disability percentage, capped at $8,100 of their primary home's taxable value. The credit applies to the homestead property owned and occupied by the veteran or surviving spouse, with specific rules for co-ownership (e.g., prorated for shared property) and requiring VA certification. It would take effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, and does not affect special assessments or existing tax obligations.
