Eliminating property tax payments for fully disabled veterans.

HB 5595 amends West Virginia law to exempt personal property owned by veterans with a 100% disability rating from state property taxes. It directly affects fully disabled veterans who receive this specific military disability rating. The bill adds these veterans to the existing list of property tax exemptions under §11-3-9 of the West Virginia Code, which already covers items like churches, hospitals, and educational institutions. This change applies only to personal property (e.g., vehicles, equipment), not real estate. The bill was introduced in the West Virginia House of Delegates on February 16, 2026, and referred to the Finance Committee.
