What’s in it

AI summary People applying for a military service property tax exemption must now have their discharge or service papers verified. A county veteran service officer must check these records before the tax exemption claim can be approved.1

Read the official explanation

Part of the information required for each claim includes the volume and page on which the certificate of satisfactory service, order of separation, retirement, furlough to reserve, inactive status, or honorable discharge or certified copy thereof is recorded in the office of the county recorder. This bill requires such information recorded in the office of the county recorder to be verified by the county commission of veteran affairs executive director or administrator recognized as a county veteran service officer prior to approval of the claim for the exemption. The bill applies to claims for military service property tax exemptions filed for assessment years beginning on or after January 1, 2022.
