Proposes constitutional amendment to exempt certain taxpayers from payment of property taxes.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to exempt certain senior citizens from paying property taxes on their primary residences. Under the plan, individuals who are 80 years of age or older would qualify for this exemption if they own and live in the home. Additionally, a surviving spouse of an eligible senior citizen could continue to receive the tax break if they are at least 75 years old, remain unmarried, and continue to own and occupy the same primary residence. If approved by voters, this change would require the state legislature to pass a specific law to establish the details of the exemption.
