| As your senator, I have opposed all property tax increases. No exceptions. I have also been proud to support bills to reduce property taxes for our seniors and our veterans. No Hoosier — and especially not those who have put their lives on the line — should struggle to stay in their home because of rising taxes. This is one of my top priorities, and it is why I supported a new law that provides tax relief for many Hoosier veterans. House Enrolled Act 1210 will: End homestead property taxes for totally disabled veterans or their surviving spouses; Offer a $250 property tax credit for partially disabled, honorably discharged veterans age 62 and up or their surviving spouses; and Grant a $350 property tax credit for partially disabled, honorably discharged veterans who served during wartime or their surviving spouses. I also voted for a new law to eliminate the state income tax for income earned from active or reserve military service. I believe all Hoosiers should be able to keep more of their money, especially our veterans. It’s the least we can do. Veterans with questions about accessing benefits should contact their local county veterans service office. A list of state resources for veterans can be found at IndianaSenateRepublicans.com/Veterans. |
