AI Summary

  • Proposes constitutional amendment to Arizona Article IX, Section 18 to establish a property valuation protection option for homeowners age 65 and older on their primary residence.

  • Eligible seniors must have resided in the primary residence for at least two years and have total income not exceeding 400% of the supplemental security income benefit rate (or 500% for multi-owner properties with at least one owner age 65+).

  • Once approved, the property valuation remains fixed at the value determined under existing constitutional limits and does not increase as long as the owner remains eligible; requires triennial reapplication and income review.

  • Property valuation protection terminates if title is conveyed to someone who does not qualify, at which point the property reverts to current full cash value.

  • Defines "income from all sources including nontaxable income" to include gains on equity and interest-bearing investments, excluding amounts of original investment recovered.
