Texas Legislature Proposes Tax Exemption Amendment
A public notice details a proposed constitutional amendment in Texas Article VIII Section 1-b. It would increase the residence homestead tax exemption to three thousand dollars of assessed value for elderly homeowners and allow local political subdivisions to cap or raise exemptions by local action or by election with petitions signed by twenty percent of voters. The measure outlines steps for local bodies to adopt or referendum the higher exemption starting in a specified year.
Constitutional Amendment Exempts Elder Homesteads From Taxes
Provisions allow political subdivisions to exempt at least 3000 dollars of residence homestead value for residents aged 65 or older from ad valorem taxes under conditions. If a debt has a pledged tax, the tax may continue at the same rate to discharge the debt, avoiding impairment of contract. The amendment is to be voted on November in 1972 by qualified electors.
