Veterans' Services - Property Tax Exemptions for Spouses - Massachusetts

Certain veterans are entitled to property tax exemptions. The property must be occupied as the veteran's or the surviving spouse’s domicile. If the property is greater than a single-family house, the veteran or the surviving spouse is entitled to the proportionate part of the applicable exemption that relates to his/her occupancy of the domicile.

Effective October 26, 2000 surviving spouses of disabled veterans who qualify for exemptions ranging from $450 to $950 may now continue to receive the higher amount regardless of marital status. Previously, widows of such veterans were entitled to the exemptions, but were totally eliminated if the spouse remarried. This new benefit even extends to surviving spouses of qualified veterans who died before the effective date of these amendments. These changes in the law apply to exemptions granted for fiscal years beginning July 1, 2000, but did not take effect until October 26, 2000.
