An Act updating disabled veterans tax exemption totals

This bill updates Massachusetts property tax exemptions for disabled veterans. It increases exemption amounts based on disability severity: $1,500 annually (or $4,000 assessed value) for veterans with loss of one limb or sight (Section 22A), and $2,500 (or $8,000 assessed value) for those with loss of both limbs or both eyes (Section 22B). The exemptions apply to veterans who are Massachusetts residents, have honorable discharge, occupy the property as their primary residence, and meet specific disability criteria documented by the Veterans Administration. Surviving spouses retain the exemption after the veteran’s death if they remain owners and occupants of the property.
