Amendment G – Modify Property Tax Exemption to include Veterans with Disabilities
*Some info taken from the Colorado State Ballot Information Booklet
The lettered measures on the ballot (e.g., Amendment G, Amendment H, etc.) amend the state’s constitution.
Amendment G, a constitutional amendment referred to the ballot by the state legislature, would reduce the property taxes some veteran homeowners pay by expanding the existing homestead exemption to include veterans who have disabilities that make them unemployable.
Since it’s a constitutional amendment, it needs 55% of the vote to pass.
The homestead exemption reduces the amount of property taxes paid by some groups of people, like seniors 65 years and older who have lived in their homes for over 10 years, veterans who have service-connected disabilities rated 100% permanent and total by the federal government and the surviving spouses of Armed Forces members who died from service-related injuries or disease.
