Increase disabled veteran enhanced homestead exemption
HB 40 increases the homestead property tax exemption for disabled veterans and their surviving spouses in Ohio. It raises the exemption value from $25,000 to $100,000 for veterans with income under $125,000 (adjusted annually), and to $50,000 for those over $125,000. The bill also expands the exemption to surviving spouses of disabled veterans (and public service officers killed in duty) who meet income limits, with annual adjustments tied to the GDP deflator. This change replaces existing exemptions under related tax sections and applies to only one homestead per eligible person.
