You can take $700 off the property tax bill on your home if your husband or wife was killed in a designated combat zone while serving on active duty. Your city or town can vote to raise the credit to anywhere from $701 to $2,000.
Apply through the tax collector or assessing office in the city or town where your home is, not the state, and ask which credit amount your municipality has adopted.
Your marriage certificate, the service member's death certificate or DD1300 Report of Casualty showing the death happened in a designated combat zone, and proof you own and live in the home.
