Illinois HB2505 provides property tax exemptions for police officers and firefighters with certain duty-related injuries and their surviving spouses.
HB2505 amends the Property Tax Code to exempt from taxation the property of police officers and firefighters who have suffered specific duty-related injuries, such as paraplegia, quadriplegia, dismemberment, or amputation, and are receiving disability benefits. The exemption also applies to the surviving spouses of officers or firefighters killed in the line of duty, provided they do not remarry. The exemption continues if the surviving spouse moves to a nursing home or VA facility, as long as the residence remains unoccupied but is still owned by the person who qualified for the exemption.
