• Description/Excerpt: Karen Branch-Brioso of the Tampa Tribune, with assistance from CAR specialist Doug Stanley, used state data to show that "when it comes to property tax relief, Florida treats its totally disabled veterans better than almost every state in the nation. No matter their disabilities. No matter their incomes. No matter the value of their homes. No matter the source of the disability - combat, a car wreck while on leave or a heart condition years later linked to their time in service. Their property tax bills are the same: zero."
