Veterans tax exemption and school revenue ideas discussed
New Mexico lawmakers debated two property tax issues at the Legislative Tax Study Committee meeting. A draft bill would apply the $2,000 veterans exemption to total real property value, not assessed value. Rep. Eugene Cinelli asked witnesses about shifting school tax revenue to a state equalization fund, with Alvin Stockton of Farm Bureau and Cattlegrowers' Association suggesting possible support might develop.

Veterans Exemption At Center Of New Mexico Tax Debate
Ron Coss staff director says Legislative School Study Committee discussed a change but took no position. The veterans' exemption remains a political hot potato with past attempts to repeal facing strong veterans' group opposition. The debate centers on applying the $2,000 exemption to true value or assessed value, with past conflict in Los Alamos and a 1967 legislative shift to assessment value. The current bill draft would apply the exemption to true value before the assessed value is calculated.
