Honoring veterans means more than thanking them for their service. It also means making sure they have access to the benefits, resources and support they have earned. House Republicans remain committed to supporting Hoosier veterans through expanded benefits and meaningful property tax relief.
Under House Enrolled Act 1210, enacted during the 2026 legislative session, Indiana expanded property tax relief for eligible veterans, including increasing the deduction for totally disabled veterans to cover 100% of the assessed value of their home, replacing the current $14,000 deduction. Under the law, disabled veterans who qualify will not owe property tax on their primary residence.
The law also converts certain existing veteran property tax deductions into credits that directly reduce property tax liability, including:
These benefits are designed to provide more direct property tax relief to eligible veterans. Veterans should review the requirements and work with their local county veteran service officer or county auditor to determine which benefits apply to them.
To learn more about eligibility and how to apply for these property tax benefits, visit the Indiana Department of Veterans Affairs. Hoosier veterans can also connect with their local county veteran service officer to learn about additional state and federal benefits, housing assistance, health care and other available resources. Find a local office through the IDVA.
This Veterans Day, take time to thank a veteran, attend a local ceremony or find another way to recognize those who have served. Their commitment to our country deserves recognition not just on Nov. 11, but throughout the year.
To all who have served and those currently in uniform, thank you for your service and sacrifice.
