Honorably Discharged Veteran's Property Tax Exemption Amendment

SJR 15 proposes a constitutional amendment to exempt honorably discharged veterans of the U.S. armed forces from property taxes on their primary residence and personal property. Currently, West Virginia offers property tax exemptions for residents aged 65+ or permanently disabled, but this amendment would expand that benefit to include veterans. If approved by voters in the 2026 general election, the change would amend Article X, Section 1b of the state constitution. This is a procedural constitutional change requiring voter ratification, not an immediate law.
