From the Indiana House Republicans:
Across Indiana, a new law is now in place to expand property tax relief for Indiana’s veterans, specifically those who have sustained total disabilities in service to the nation.
House Enrolled Act 1210, which I supported, provides tax relief for veterans with total disabilities by increasing the property tax deduction to cover 100% of the assessed value of their real property, replacing the current $14,000 deduction. Under the law, disabled veterans who qualify will not owe property tax on their primary residence.
The new law also broadens tax relief opportunities for other veterans through new and expanded credits. This includes stackable property tax credits including a $250 credit for partially disabled veterans who are age 62 or older and a $350 credit for veterans who served during wartime.
Under the new law, veterans who previously qualified for a property tax deduction will instead receive a credit applied directly to their local property tax liability. The changes will take effect beginning with the 2026 assessment date.
It is estimated that HEA 1210 will provide approximately $46.2 million in additional tax relief for veterans statewide beginning with taxes payable in 2027.
