An Act relative to increasing disability ratings for veterans

This bill updates Massachusetts property tax exemptions for veterans with service-connected disabilities. It replaces a flat $2000 or $400 exemption with an incremental scale: veterans rated 10% or more disabled by the VA or military receive $400 for 10% disability up to $1,000 for 100% disability, in 10% increments. The exemption applies to primary residences occupied by qualifying veterans or their spouses (if also veterans) and continues annually unless the disability rating drops below 10%. The Department of Revenue must establish this scale by January 1, 2027, to implement the changes.
