Tax Exemption for Disabled Ex-servicemembers

HB 39 would have increased the property tax exemption for disabled Florida ex-servicemembers from $10,000 to $5,000 (though the bill text actually reduces the exemption amount, contradicting the abstract). It applies to veterans honorably discharged with a 10%+ disability from wartime service or misfortune, or their unremarried surviving spouses. To qualify, applicants must provide a U.S. Government or VA disability certificate to their county property appraiser. The bill was withdrawn before introduction on February 28, 2025, and never advanced.
