Creating a homestead exemption for seniors, persons retired due to disability, and veterans with disabilities.
SB 6316 creates a property tax exemption for seniors (61+), disabled retirees, and veterans with a 40%+ VA disability rating. It exempts $150,000 of a home's assessed value from property taxes for households with combined income under $65,000, applying to taxes levied starting in 2027. To qualify, applicants must live in the home as their primary residence, meet income limits, and file annual renewal forms by June 30. The exemption is in addition to existing homestead exemptions and requires renewal every six years. This directly affects eligible homeowners by reducing their annual property tax burden.
