Bill H.3245

Section 5 of Chapter 59 of the General Laws, as appearing in the 2018 Official Edition, is hereby amended by striking out the words:-

“permanent and total disability, and who by reason of such disability have received assistance in acquiring ''specially adapted housing'' under laws administered by the Veterans Administration to the amount of ten thousand dollars of the taxable valuation of real property or the sum of $1,500, whichever would result in an abatement of the greater amount of actual taxes due, provided, that such real estate is occupied as his domicile by such person, and provided, further, that if said property be greater than a single family house then only that value of so much of said house as is occupied by said person as his domicile or a proportionate part of $1,500, whichever would result in an abatement of the greater amount of actual taxes due, shall be exempted”

and inserts in place thereof the following:- “100 percent service-connected permanent, and total disability, may receive a full property tax exemption on the real property that the veteran resides in as his/her primary residence, provided, that such real estate is owned or deeded in the name of the qualified veteran or his or her spouse.”
