An Act amending Title 51 (Military Affairs) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in disabled veterans' real estate tax exemption, further providing for definitions and for duty of commission.
SB 407 amends Pennsylvania's disabled veterans' real estate tax exemption law to clarify eligibility rules. It establishes an automatic exemption for disabled veterans with annual household income of $75,000 or less (adjusted every two years using the Consumer Price Index), while requiring additional proof of need for applicants earning above this threshold. The bill defines "annual income" broadly to include pensions, disability payments, and other sources, while excluding certain benefits like Medicare or food assistance. The state commission must publish updated income thresholds biennially in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. This directly affects disabled veterans seeking property tax relief by standardizing income-based eligibility.
