HJR 183 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Proposes a constitutional amendment to govern real property repairs and improvements

This bill proposes adding a new section to the Missouri Constitution that would require property owners to use specific, more cost-effective materials when repairing or improving their real estate, provided the change does not alter the property's appearance and results in a better condition. It also gives local governments the authority to block any repairs or improvements if they reasonably believe the work will negatively impact the value or enjoyment of neighboring properties. Ultimately, the measure would establish new legal standards for how property owners must handle maintenance and upgrades while allowing municipalities to protect adjacent land values.
