Amendment G, where we finally get something right. The El Paso County Democratic Party urges a Yes vote on this measure, and frankly, it’s about time we extend a little more fairness to our veterans. Currently, only those with a 100% service-connected disability qualify for the homestead exemption—but with Amendment G, we can extend that benefit to veterans with unemployability status as well.
If passed, this will open the door for 3,400 more veterans to qualify for a property tax exemption that cuts 50% off the first $200,000 of their home’s value. In 2023 alone, this saved eligible veterans and Gold Star spouses an average of $586—hardly pocket change for those who’ve sacrificed so much. A Yes vote is a small but meaningful way to show our veterans that we value their service. Let’s make it happen.
