Maryland HB1611 revises property tax credit eligibility for disabled veterans and their surviving spouses.

Maryland HB1611 modifies the eligibility criteria for property tax credits for disabled veterans and their surviving spouses. The bill allows local governing bodies to set income limits for the credit, ensuring it is available to those with lower incomes. It also outlines the application process, requiring disabled veterans to submit a discharge certificate and a disability certification from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. The credit is equal to 50% of the property tax on the veteran's dwelling if their service-connected disability rating is at least 75%.
