Authorizes the "Missouri Disabled Veterans' Homestead Exemption" relating to a property tax exemption for certain veterans

HB 552 creates a property tax exemption for Missouri veterans with service-connected disabilities and their surviving spouses. It provides annual tax relief ranging from $2,500 to 100% of the tax bill based on disability rating (50%+ to 100% as certified by the VA), applying to primary residences under $250,000 in equalized value. Surviving spouses qualify if they receive VA dependency compensation and meet residency requirements, with exemptions transferring to new homes if they don’t remarry. The exemption begins for tax years starting January 1, 2026, requiring annual reapplication unless the veteran has a 100% disability rating.
