SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Constitutional amendment (second resolution); property exempt from taxation. Amends the Constitution of Virginia to allow the General Assembly to authorize localities to establish their own income or financial worth limitations for purposes of granting property tax relief for homeowners not less than 65 years of age or permanently and totally disabled. The Constitution presently requires a showing that the homeowners granted property tax relief bear an extraordinary tax burden on the property in relation to their income or financial worth as provided by the General Assembly by state law. This resolution is identical to HJ 11.
