HB349 Creates Disabled Veterans School Tax Credit, Signed by Governor
Summary
Delaware Governor has signed HB349 into law, enacting an amendment to Title 14 of the Delaware Code establishing a school tax credit for disabled veterans. The bill was sponsored by twelve legislators across both chambers and was referred to the Education Committee before passage. Schools and local tax authorities should monitor for implementing guidance to understand eligibility criteria and administrative requirements.
School districts and local tax authorities administering school property taxes in Delaware should review HB349's specific eligibility requirements, credit calculation methodology, and filing procedures once implementing regulations are issued. Disabled veterans seeking school tax relief should confirm their qualifying status with local assessors.
What changed
HB349 enacts a new school tax credit for disabled veterans under Title 14 of the Delaware Code. The bill was signed by the Governor on April 9, 2026, completing the legislative process. Previously, veterans seeking property tax relief related to school taxes had limited specific credit mechanisms under Title 14. The new law establishes a dedicated credit framework for disabled veterans.

Veterans who may qualify for school tax relief should contact local tax authorities for information on claiming the credit. Schools should prepare for potential changes to property tax billing and collection processes.
