A bill that would give disabled veterans some property tax relief has been introduced in the Georgia General Assembly. The Russell D. Rego USMC Act, named after a Hall County Marine veteran who unsuccessfully sought a tax break in Hall County, would allow qualified disabled veterans to file for a three-year retroactive reimbursement of the Disabled Veteran Homestead Tax Exemption. The reimbursement would be on taxes paid before the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ final determination of disability. “(Disability) claims may take several years to be approved,” a State House press release states.
