The Pennsylvania Allow Local Taxing Authorities to Exempt Full Value of Homestead Amendment is on the ballot in Pennsylvania as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment on November 7, 2017.[1][2]

A "yes" vote supports this amendment to allow the state legislature to increase the amount of a home's assessed value that local taxing authorities―counties, municipalities, and school districts―are permitted to exempt from taxes. The amount would increase from up to 50 percent of the median value of all homesteads within their jurisdictions to up to 100 percent of the assessed value of each homestead.

A "no" vote opposes this amendment to allow the legislature to permit local taxing authorities to exempt up to 100 percent of the assessed value of each homestead from taxes. Voting "no" would keep the amount that local taxing authorities are permitted to exempt at up to 50 percent of the median value of all homesteads within their jurisdictions.
