Proposes a constitutional amendment modifying the taxation of property

HJR 8 is a proposed constitutional amendment that would overhaul Missouri's property tax system. It would replace current classifications with new rules, prohibiting taxes on residential property based on market value or owner characteristics, and instead categorize homes into ten tiers based on square footage and age. The amendment also bans property taxes on all tangible and intangible personal property after adoption and establishes new rules for taxing agricultural, commercial, and industrial real estate. This change would directly affect all Missouri property owners, particularly homeowners and businesses that currently pay personal property taxes.
