Commissioners approve exoneration of county real estate taxes for veterans found 100% disabled
Summary
The Mifflin County Commissioners voted to exonerate county real estate taxes for three parcels after recommendations from the Department of Veterans Affairs that owners meet the 100% disability and financial-need criteria.
The Mifflin County Commissioners approved requests to exonerate 2025 county real estate taxes for three parcels after recommendations from the Department of Veterans Affairs that the owners meet requirements for 100% disability and financial need.
County staff introduced four exoneration requests handled individually. The board approved the items presented during the meeting: a Brown Township parcel owned by Gregor Campbell, a parcel on Clover Avenue in Yacertown (owner not fully named in the record) identified as meeting the VA 100% disability and need criteria, and a Lewistown property owned by Jeffrey and Allison (last name not specified in the meeting record) at 10 Hillside Lane. Each recommendation came from the Department of Veterans Affairs and was moved and approved by the commissioners by voice vote.
One additional item mentioned an acreage error in a parcel in Carmont Township; county staff said that would be reissued by the office and handled separately.
Why it matters: Veterans'related property-tax exonerations are a county-level benefit granted when owners meet statutory disability and financial-need requirements; approving these exonerations removes the county tax liability for the listed parcels for 2025.
The meeting record does not include parcel ID numbers or a roll-call vote tally. Commissioners approved each request by voice vote on the record.
