A yes vote
A yes vote would, starting in tax year 2027, lower the yearly cap on growth in a property's fair cash value to 4 percent for most real property and 1.75 percent for homesteads and farmland, and replace the senior valuation freeze with yearly caps of 0 to 1.75 percent for homeowners 65 and older based on income compared with the area median, with no income limit to qualify.2
A no vote
A no vote would keep the current yearly caps of 5 percent for most real property and 3 percent for homesteads and farmland, and keep the full freeze on homestead value for homeowners 65 and older whose income is within the current limits.2
