HB 780 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to the assessed valuation of residential real property

HB 780 changes how Missouri counties assess property taxes on residential real estate. It requires assessors to value residential properties at 33.3% of their true market value annually, with new assessments set every other year (odd-numbered years) and applied for two years. The bill also creates a process for counties to submit two-year assessment plans for approval and includes a specific provision reducing valuations for airport-related property improvements funded by non-government parties. This directly affects homeowners and property owners across all Missouri counties, including St. Louis.

MINOR
This bill expanded its scope by adding two additional sections to repeal (137.180 and 137.355) alongside the original section 137.115. The substantive change involves a technical correction to the valuation language, removing a line break that split a sentence about property assessment calculations, ensuring the rule about costs incurred after January 1, 2008 remains intact.
Scope change
The bill now addresses three real property valuation sections instead of one, expanding its legislative scope.
SCOPE

Added repeal of sections 137.180 and 137.355 to the bill, expanding the number of sections being modified from one to three.

TECHNICAL

Corrected a formatting error where lines 16-17 were incorrectly deleted, which would have broken the sentence about how assessors calculate property values based on costs incurred after January 1, 2008.
