SUMMARY AS PASSED HOUSE:
Real property tax exemption; disabled veterans. Allows a disabled veteran or surviving spouse to apply for a real property tax exemption and receive a decision prior to purchasing a qualifying property. The bill provides that the commissioner of the revenue of the county, city, or town, or such other officer as may be designated by the governing body in which the property is located, shall, within 20 business days of receiving the application, process the application and send a letter to the disabled veteran or surviving spouse stating whether the application is approved or denied. If the application is approved, the bill requires the letter to include the amount of the tax exemption approved. The bill provides, however, that the exemption described in such letter shall become effective only after the disabled veteran or surviving spouse becomes the owner of the property.
