An Act amending Title 51 (Military Affairs) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in disabled veterans' real estate tax exemption, further providing for exemption.
SB 831 modifies Pennsylvania's tax exemption for disabled veterans by expanding a property value reduction program. It provides tiered tax relief: veterans with a 10%+ service-connected disability (verified by the VA) receive $7,500 to $15,000 off their home's taxable value, depending on disability severity (10-29% to 70%+). This applies to veterans who own their primary residence solely, with a spouse, or as tenants by the entirety but do not qualify for the full exemption under existing law. The bill directly affects Pennsylvania veterans with military service-related disabilities who pay real estate taxes on their primary home.
