Reduces the assessment percentage of tangible personal property over a period of years

HB 2946 reduces Missouri's tax assessment rate for tangible personal property (like business equipment, vehicles, and inventory) over a three-year phase-in. It lowers the assessment percentage from 33.33% before 2027 to 22% in 2027, 11.11% in 2028, and 0.01% (effectively eliminating the tax) starting in 2029. This directly affects businesses and individuals who own taxable tangible personal property subject to county-level property taxes. The bill repeals the existing assessment rate in Section 137.115 of Missouri law and replaces it with these new phased reductions.
