The Disabled Veterans Complete Property Tax Exemption Amendment Act of 2025 aims to provide a complete residential property tax exemption for all disabled veterans and the surviving spouses of disabled veterans who have passed away or died in active duty. The bill seeks to eliminate the current household income limit of $159,750, allowing all qualifying disabled veterans to benefit from the exemption regardless of their financial situation. Additionally, it proposes to replace the existing limited $445,000 deduction with a full property tax exemption, aligning the District's policy with those of neighboring Maryland and Virginia. The legislation maintains the requirement for a 100% service-connected permanent and total disability rating from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

Furthermore, the bill expands eligibility for the property tax exemption to include surviving spouses of eligible disabled veterans and veterans who died in the line of duty. It specifies that surviving spouses can qualify for the exemption if they own and reside in the dwelling unit that was previously owned by the disabled veteran or if they acquire the dwelling unit within two years of the veteran's death. This legislation reflects the District's commitment to ensuring that veterans and their families have access to financial security and housing stability, addressing the urgent challenges of veteran homelessness and housing instability in the area.
