Let's talk about the real property tax exemption for Cold War veterans, which we had spoken on this committee several times.
1:26:36
In May of twenty twenty two, introduction three seventy seven of 2022, sponsored by then council member Barelli, was introduced to grant a real property tax exemption to Cold War veterans who served on active duty in the United States Armed Forces between 09/02/1945 and 12/26/1991 and were honorably discharged.
1:27:00
This exemption would apply to the veterans prime primary residence and the exemption would be for 15% of the assessed value on residential property capped at 39,000 and would remain in effect for ten years.
1:27:18
Additionally, Cold War veterans who are disabled due to their service would be eligible for an additional exemption of up to a hundred and 30,000.
1:27:29
This legislation was reintroduced in the current session as introduction seven forty with council member Carr as the sponsor.
1:27:40
What is DVS's position on extending property tax exemptions to Cold War veterans?
1:27:47
And does the administration agree with that position?
