- A vote "FOR" will amend provisions in the Constitution of Nebraska pertaining to taxes to: 1. create property tax levy limits for various governmental subdivisions which could be exceeded by a majority vote of the voters. 2. authorize the Legislature to prescribe the means to determine the fair market value of real property for property tax purposes; and 3. provide that the value of real property for property tax purposes may not exceed 80% of its fair market value for agricultural and horticultural land, or 100% of its fair market value for other real property. A vote "FOR" will also amend the Nebraska Constitution to require the Legislature to establish standards of efficiency for the delivery of local governmental services. All of these amendments are severable.
