Senate Bill 2683 Summary

• Allows veterans with service-connected, total disability who are honorably discharged to apply for homestead exemption within 30 calendar days of closing on a home purchase, but no later than December 31 of the purchase year, rather than the standard April 1 deadline.

• Provides that if an applicant already has homestead exemption on another property at time of the new application, the old property is treated as if the new application were filed by April 1.

• Repeals sections 27-33-69, 27-33-71, and 27-33-73 (Mississippi Code of 1972) which contained tax exemption tables for claims and reimbursements from 1985-1988.

• Amends section 27-33-67 to remove references to the repealed exemption table sections.

• Takes effect January 1, 2023.
