West Virginia HJR15 proposes an amendment to the state constitution to allow for an increase in the homestead exemption. This amendment would permit the exemption to rise incrementally by $20,000 every five years for individuals with an annual income not exceeding $20,000, culminating in a maximum exemption of $100,000 at age 85. The amendment also includes provisions for the periodic statewide reappraisal of property and the equitable application of the homestead exemption.
