S 1962 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act increasing veterans' property tax exemptions

This bill increases the property tax exemptions available to veterans in Massachusetts. It directly affects military service members by raising the dollar amounts they can exclude from their property's assessed value when calculating taxes. The legislation doubles specific exemption limits, such as increasing the base exemption from $400 to $800 and raising the exemption for veterans with service-connected disabilities from $1,500 to $3,000. These changes are implemented by amending existing state laws to update the numerical thresholds for these tax breaks.
