It’s been 32 years since disabled veterans in Arizona got the same break on their property taxes that widows, widowers and disabled individuals do.
Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Kathy Lowrey Gallowitz thinks it’s past time to change that, which is why she’s supporting Proposition 130.
“This ballot measure … basically restores that exemption, eliminates that residency requirement, so that would now be constitutional,” said Jennifer Stielow, vice president of Arizona Tax Research Association, a statewide taxpayer association. “There is not much difference between what is currently in the Constitution versus what is being restated.”
The tax break would no longer be predicated on when a veteran became an Arizona resident. But not all disabled veterans in Arizona would benefit: Their income and the value of their homes would need to fall below certain thresholds. Those veterans who do qualify for the break would receive it on a sliding scale, depending on their level of disability. The maximum tax exemption allowed to veterans with disabilities would be $4,177 – which is not a direct credit, but is credited against the assessed value of their property.
