Coming April 1, 2027: Simpler Homestead and Veteran Exemptions

As part of the state budget signed in 2026, Maine is combining the Homestead, Veteran, and Blind exemptions into a single, tiered Homestead Exemption. The change takes effect for property tax years beginning April 1, 2027. Eligible homeowners receive a $25,000 base exemption, with additional amounts added for veterans and for blind residents.

The largest change is for veterans. Today's exemption requires wartime service plus either reaching age 62 or holding a 100% disability rating. Under the new law, every eligible veteran qualifies for at least some exemption, with larger amounts based on age and disability rating, and relief is expanded for survivors of veterans. The blind exemption increases from $4,000 to $5,000.

What this means for you: nothing changes right now. Your current exemptions stay in effect, and if you already receive one, it continues automatically, with no need to reapply. Maine Revenue Services will publish updated application forms and the final exemption amounts before the 2027 effective date, and we'll post them here as soon as they're available.
