RELATING TO PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTIONS
OFFICIAL TITLE
PROPOSING AN AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION OF ARIZONA; REPEALING
ARTICLE IX, SECTIONS 2, 2.1, 2.2 AND 2.3, CONSTITUTION OF ARIZONA;
AMENDING ARTICLE IX, CONSTITUTION OF ARIZONA, BY ADDING A NEW
SECTION 2; RELATING TO PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTIONS.
DESCRIPTIVE TITLE
THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT WOULD CONSOLIDATE FOUR SECTIONS OF
THE CONSTITUTION REGARDING PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTIONS INTO A SINGLE
SECTION; REMOVE THE CONSTITUTIONAL DETERMINATIONS OF THE AMOUNTS
OF CERTAIN PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTIONS; AND ALLOW PROPERTY TAX

exemptions, leaving the legislature to prescribe by law the qualifications
for and amounts of property tax exemptions it creates; allowing property
tax exemptions for resident veterans with disabilities, widows, and
widowers regardless of when they became Arizona residents; and
establishing that a person is not eligible for property tax exemption
under more than one category as a widow, widower, person with a
disability, or veteran with a disability.

A “NO” vote shall have the effect of retaining existing law on property
tax exemptions.
