Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham has announced significant increases to Veterans Land Board loan limits, raising the standard amount to $200,000 and dual-spouse loans to $275,000.<\/p>\n
The changes<\/a> take effect on February 9. The combined $100,000 boost marks the second major VLB loan increase in two months. It aims to help Texas veterans afford land purchases amid rising property costs.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is an honor to follow up last month\u2019s announcement of the $26,250 VLB home loan amount increase with a combined $100,000 increase for our standard and dual-spouse land loan amounts,\u201d said Commissioner Buckingham.<\/p>\n The standard land loan jumps from $150,000 to $200,000.<\/p>\n Dual-spouse loans increase from $225,000 to $275,000. These allow two veteran spouses to combine their benefits to purchase larger properties.<\/p>\n The VLB Veterans Land Loan Program remains unique nationally. It offers competitive interest rates, typically requiring just 5% down payment for tracts of 1 acre or more.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is no greater act of service than pledging to fight for the land you love,\u201d Buckingham added. \u201cWe will continue to honor the sacrifices our Veterans made by helping these heroes and their families own a piece of our beloved Lone Star State through the VLB Veterans Land Loan Program.\u201d<\/p>\n For more information on land loans for veterans, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Last month, the VLB increased<\/a> its home loan limit to $832,750. The board also launched its 2026 \u201cValentines for Vets\u201d<\/a> campaign.<\/p>\n Buckingham became Texas\u2019s first female Land Commissioner in 2022. Her priorities include disaster response, energy support, public education, veteran services, and border security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham has announced significant increases to Veterans Land Board loan limits, raising the standard…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":156069,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[4556,64289,64290,27,29,4557,28,17014,64288,64291],"class_list":{"0":"post-156068","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-texas","8":"tag-dawn-buckingham","9":"tag-land-for-sale-sign","10":"tag-land-loans","11":"tag-texas","12":"tag-texas-headlines","13":"tag-texas-land-commissioner","14":"tag-texas-news","15":"tag-veterans-land-board","16":"tag-vlb","17":"tag-vlb-veterans-land-loan-program"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156068","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=156068"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/156068\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/156069"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=156068"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=156068"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=156068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
