H.J.Res.115

Missouri HJR115 proposes a constitutional amendment to exempt disabled veterans and their surviving spouses from property taxes.

Missouri HJR115 proposes a constitutional amendment to exempt disabled veterans and their surviving spouses from property taxes. The amendment defines a "disabled veteran" as someone who has been separated under honorable conditions from active service in the U.S. Armed Forces and is receiving disability compensation at the 100% rate. The exemption applies to the veteran's primary residence, not exceeding 2.5 acres. If the veteran dies, the surviving spouse can continue to claim the exemption if they use the property as their homestead.
