Assembly Bill 247 mandates that political subdivisions in Wisconsin reduce building permit fees by 75 percent or $500, whichever is less, for improvements made to the primary residence of disabled veterans. This fee reduction applies specifically when the improvements are necessary to accommodate the veteran's disability and the residence is owned by the veteran or their caretaker. The bill also includes a definition of "disabled veteran" as per existing law.

To implement this fee reduction, the bill allows political subdivisions to require proof that the applicant meets certain criteria, including verification of the veteran's status, confirmation that the residence is the primary home, and assurance that the improvements are necessary for accommodating the veteran's disability. Additionally, the bill renumbers existing legal language and creates new sections to formalize these provisions.
