Bill would let some disabled applicants skip repeat property-tax exams

An applicant could receive the disability homestead exemption in a later taxable year without another examination. This applies to an applicant who already received the exemption and whose examining provider documented total and permanent disability. The applicant must attach the original disability documentation to the later application. The exemption must not have been found erroneous since the last application. The claimant must not have reported being ineligible for the exemption. The rule would apply when the applicant seeks the exemption in a subsequent taxable year.
