Disabled veterans who receive an adaptive housing grant from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs can receive a refund of up to $2,500 of state sales tax paid on construction costs. The refund applies to sales tax paid for labor and/or materials for the adaptive housing project. The statewide annual limit for all refunds is $125,000 every fiscal year (July through June).
This chart shows how much has been refunded so far, and how much remains available for refund for the current fiscal year:
