Existing property tax law provides, pursuant to the authorization of the California Constitution, for the exemption from property taxation of the principal residence of a disabled veteran, a veteran's spouse, and the unmarried surviving spouse, in the case in which the veteran has, as a result of a service-connected disease or injury, died while on active duty in military service. Existing property tax law specifies that property is a veteran's principal residence if the veteran would principally reside at that property if not for his or her confinement to a hospital or other care facility. This bill would, beginning with the lien date for the 2012–13 fiscal year and for each fiscal year thereafter, specify that property is an unmarried surviving spouse's principal residence if the unmarried surviving spouse would principally reside at that property if not for his or her confinement to a hospital or other care facility. This bill would also correct an erroneous cross-reference in this provision. This bill would additionally make technical, nonsubstantive changes that would consolidate the provisions relating to the date when property becomes eligible for the disabled veterans' exemption, and would make other conforming changes. This bill would also make other clarifying changes, including clarifying that the exemption terminates for an unmarried surviving spouse of a disabled veteran when that surviving spouse remarries.
