Summary

The amendment revises Section 3 of Article XIII to include the U.S. Space Force among the services that qualify for the $1,000 (or higher) veterans’ property‑tax exemption, lets a dwelling with a veterans’ or disabled‑veteran exemption also receive the $7,000 homeowners’ exemption, and permits the legislature to raise the veterans’ exemption up to the property’s full value. It also removes existing caps that barred veterans, spouses or parents from the exemption based on the amount of property they own. The change aims to give qualifying veterans and their families greater tax relief and to keep veterans’ benefits aligned with any future homeowners’ exemption increases.
