News
Amendment G: Expanded property tax exemption for veterans, explained
This constitutional amendment would allow more disabled veterans to qualify for a property tax exemption for a portion of their primary residence’s value.
What’s known as the homestead exemption is limited to veterans who are considered completely and permanently disabled due to their service.
If voters agree, eligibility would expand to include veterans with a significant service-connected disability that makes them unable to work. Non-partisan legislative staff estimate that change would cover around 3,400 more veteran homeowners.
Because it changes the state constitution, this amendment will need 55 percent of the vote to pass.
