Proposes a constitutional amendment authorizing a real property tax exemption for certain senior citizens
HJR 42 proposes a constitutional amendment to exempt certain senior citizens in Missouri from real property taxes on their primary homes. It would apply to residents aged 65 or older who have lived in Missouri for at least 10 consecutive years, with individual income under $150,000 or married couples under $200,000. The exemption would extend to spouses aged 55+ living with the qualifying senior. To offset lost tax revenue, counties would impose a new tax on other property types (like commercial real estate) at a fixed rate, with adjustments based on property values each year.
