More detail
If approved by voters, the amendment would set the assessment share for residential property at 9%. It covers real property used for homes, including multifamily homes and land used for mobile or manufactured home communities. Two-thirds of each chamber must approve the resolution before the amendment can go to voters. The proposed share would apply starting January 1, 2027, and in later years. The resolution schedules a vote for the November 2026 general election, unless lawmakers call an earlier special election.
