Amendment 2 Shall Section 170 of the Constitution be amended to include as property exempt from taxation, real property maintained as the permanent residence of the owner, who is sixty-five years of age or older, up to the assessed valuation of sixty- five hundred dollars on said residence and contiguous real property, except for the assessment of special benefits. The real property may be held by legal or equitable title, by entirities, jointly, in common, as a condominium, or indirectly by stock ownership or membership representing the owner's or member's proprietary interest in a corporation owning a fee or leasehold initially in excess of ninety-eight years. The exemption shall apply only to the value of the real property assessable to the owner or, in case of ownership through stock or membership in a corporation, the value of the proportion which his interest in the corporation bears to the assessed value of the property?
