Tiverton changes disabled veteran tax credit

Tiverton ends the $400 yearly property tax credit for totally disabled veterans. The town council can set a new credit of $200 or more by local ordinance, applied to the property tax bill. You must be a veteran the VA has rated totally disabled from a service-connected cause. The unmarried widow or widower of such a veteran can also get the credit. This applies to real property in Tiverton.

Veteran property tax changes start now

The law takes effect upon passage. Towns and eligible people can use the new exemptions and credits right away. Local assessors apply the changes as of that date.
