Lawmakers, municipal officials push to raise veterans' property tax work‑off cap to $2,000
Summary
A joint committee hearing drew testimony urging the legislature to raise the maximum benefit for the veterans property tax work‑off program from $1,500 to $2,000 to match the senior program and remove a local barrier to uptake.
Representative Sylvia, testifying before the Joint Committee on Revenue, asked the panel to increase the cap for the veterans property tax work‑off program from $1,500 to $2,000 to bring it into parity with the senior work‑off benefit.
The change "will raise that cap for veterans to $2,000 to bring equity and balance between the 2 programs," Representative Sylvia said, adding that the program applies to veterans, surviving spouses of veterans, and spouses of veterans with service‑connected disabilities.
