Virginia supports expanding property tax exemption for select military spouses
A majority of Virginians supported a referendum expanding the state Constitution to provide real estate tax relief to surviving spouses of service members who died in the line of duty.
The Constitution only applied to 100% disabled veterans and surviving spouses of soldiers killed in action as determined by the U.S. Department of Defense.
Virginia’s unofficial election results show that 93% of Virginians supported the amendment through a referendum that was on the ballot last week.
“It’s humbling to see the overwhelming support and to be able to help just over a hundred or so families,” said Sen. Jeremy McPike, D-Prince William, who carried the amendment in the Senate. “I think people, once they read it and understood it, they got why it was so important.”
