Bill allowing some Illinois veterans to pay no property taxes advances in Springfield – Center Square

Many disabled veterans in the state are exempt from paying property taxes, which has been received with lukewarm results. “What this does is include veterans of World War II, regardless of level of disability,” state Rep. Stephanie Kifowit said. “These veterans would receive a 100% reduction of their property assessed value.” According to the National World War II Museum, there are just over 6,000 World War II veterans living in Illinois.
