Constitutional amendment; providing ad valorem exemption for veterans and unremarried surviving spouses.
This constitutional amendment (SJR 36) would create a phased property tax exemption for honorably discharged veterans and unremarried surviving spouses in Oklahoma. It provides increasing tax relief on household personal property and homesteads over four years: 25% in 2027, 50% in 2028, 75% in 2029, and full exemption by 2030. Eligibility requires Oklahoma residency and certification of honorable discharge (or surviving spouse status), expanding current exemptions beyond only disabled veterans. The amendment must be approved by voters as a constitutional change, not enacted by the legislature directly.
