SB 1352

Abstract

Amends the Property Tax Code. Provides that, for taxable year 2015 and each taxable year thereafter, the disabled veterans standard homestead exemption is $6,000 for veterans with a service-connected disability of at least 70% and $3,000 for veterans with a service-connected disability of at least 50% but less than 70%. Provides that the residence must be occupied as a qualified residence by a disabled veteran who has an ownership interest in the property (currently, the residence must be used as the veteran's primary residence). Provides that, if the disabled veteran resides with a family member but does not have an ownership interest in the property, the property is still entitled to the exemption, subject to certain conditions. Effective immediately.
