Counties may opt to provide a real property tax credit equal to 100% of property taxes (excluding state blind pension fund levy) for disabled veterans with a 100% permanent and total VA disability rating, effective January 1, 2027

Eligible properties must be the veteran's primary residence with a market value not exceeding $500,000 and no more than 5 acres of surrounding land

The tax credit transfers to a surviving spouse who maintains ownership, permanent residence, and does not remarry

Credits are non-refundable, non-transferable, and cannot be combined with other property tax relief programs under Chapter 135 or 137

County participation requires majority vote of the governing body; individual veterans must also opt in by notifying the local collector's office
