FYI to all 100% disabled vets: beginning in 2027, the State of New York joins 27 other states in excusing VA-100% disabled vets from all or most primary residence property taxes. This enables the small number of affected vets to keep the homes they have, or to get homes, without what many find to be a brick-wall tax barrier to home ownership. This is very kind of the state, especially considering my home state of Colorado only exempts a fraction of the home's value, typically saving totally disabled vets only a few hundred dollars.
This is a big reason Colorado ranks only 27th in value of benefits permitted disabled veterans. All legislators need to realize that states with stronger benefits keep (or attract) veterans and the economic impact of the vets and their retirements/pensions more than outweighs the cost of the benefits.
