Summary

  • Adds Mississippi's Tier 2 homestead exemption for age-65-or-disabled homeowners.
  • Models eligibility, exempt assessed value, and estimated property-tax reduction for the first $7,500 of assessed value.
  • Adds focused eligibility, exemption, and reduction tests.
  • Keeps the rule household-calculator-only for now; this PR does not wire the reduction into baseline property-tax-credit aggregates while assessed-property-value data readiness is unresolved.

Closes #8198.

Value Review

  • Mississippi Department of Revenue says the additional age-65-or-disabled exemption applies to the first $7,500 of assessed value.
  • HB 1255 in the 2025 Mississippi legislative session proposed increasing this amount to $12,500, but the bill died in committee, so the current modeled value remains $7,500.
