SJR 86 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

Proposing a constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to increase the amount of the exemption from ad valorem taxation of property owned by certain disabled veterans.

SJR 86 proposes a constitutional amendment to increase property tax exemptions for certain disabled veterans in Texas. It would raise the maximum exemption amounts for veterans with specific disability ratings (e.g., from $5,000 to $30,000 for 10-30% disability) and add new categories like veterans aged 65+ or with severe disabilities. This directly affects disabled veterans certified by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (or military service) with 10% or higher disability ratings, as well as their surviving spouses and minor children. The amendment requires voter approval in the November 2025 election to take effect.
