The proposed bill seeks to amend the Constitution of Alabama of 2022 to allow qualified taxpayers aged 65 and older in Wilcox County to claim a senior property tax exemption on their real property. This exemption applies to single-family owner-occupied residential properties that have been the principal residence of the taxpayer for at least five years prior to the tax year in which the exemption is claimed. The assessed value of the property will be frozen at the amount from the year before the exemption is claimed, and the exemption can be claimed starting October 1, 2027, for the property value as of October 1, 2026.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific conditions for maintaining the exemption, including the requirement that the property remains the taxpayer's principal residence and that the taxpayer can still claim other exemptions. It also clarifies that any increases in assessed value due to property additions after claiming the exemption will be subject to ad valorem tax. The bill includes provisions for the election process to ratify the amendment, which will be presented to voters with a ballot description and options for approval. The language inserted into the bill includes the specific conditions for the exemption and the timeline for claiming it, while no deletions from current law are noted.
