Homestead exemption; grant unremarried surviving spouse of totally disabled homeowner same exemption as deceased.

Summary

The bill would amend Mississippi’s homestead exemption law so that a spouse who has not remarried and whose partner was totally disabled can claim the same property tax break the deceased partner would have received. It applies to homeowners who qualify for the exemption because of age, disability, or the new surviving‑spouse provision. The change was intended to protect the surviving spouse’s home from higher taxes after the homeowner’s death.
