Introduced Text

Clarifies conditions under which a disabled veteran's property tax exemption may be denied.

The bill amends Michigan's property tax law to clarify when an assessor may deny a disabled veteran's property tax exemption. It specifies that an exemption may be denied if the veteran no longer uses the property as a homestead or no longer meets the eligibility criteria. The bill also outlines procedures for reassessment and interest on unpaid taxes if an exemption is denied. It emphasizes that an exemption remains in effect until rescinded by the veteran or denied by the assessor.
