A YES vote means
Start in 2027, with larger breaks phased in later based on age and years lived in the county. By 2035, qualifying homeowners could pay no county tax on up to $50,000 of home value.
A NO vote means
Keep the current $10,000 senior home tax break. Do not add the larger breaks; school and city taxes would stay unchanged.
