No. 103 to the Real <br /> Property Tax Stakeholders Task Force(Task Force)to review and report back to the Committee on <br /> Finance. <br /> Bill No. 103 is related to the real property tax exemption for persons who are blind, deaf, and/or totally <br /> disabled. This bill would specify that the exemption applies to real property owned and occupied as the <br /> principal home by the qualifying individual. It also provides a minor housekeeping amendment. <br /> On July 21, 2014, September 8, 2014 and September 11, 2014, the Task Force reviewed Bill No. 103 and <br /> recommends that to be consistent with other language related to exemptions for homeowners, the <br /> bill should specify that the owner "is qualified for the homeowner exemption", rather than refer <br /> only to the owner's "principle home". <br /> The Task Force supports Bill No. 103 with the proposed changes. <br /> Margaret Wille <br /> Co-Chair <br /> Real Property Tax Stakeholders Task Force <br /> MW/dh <br /> Comm.
