HB 3078 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Provides local property tax credits for certain disabled veterans

HB 3078 would allow Missouri counties to provide a property tax credit for disabled veterans with a 100% VA disability rating. It applies to primary residences valued at $500,000 or less, covering all local property taxes (except state blind pension fund levies). Counties must opt in via vote, and the credit passes to surviving spouses who remain in the home and don’t remarry. The credit is non-refundable, does not replace other tax relief, and is not an exemption from property taxes.

Introduced → House Committee Substitute · 3 edits

MINOR

The bill was amended to combine two related bills (HB 3078 and HB 2672) into a single House Committee Substitute. The most significant substantive change is the addition of a new definition for 'CPI' (Consumer Price Index) and the modification of the 'Qualified residence' definition to allow for an annual inflation adjustment of the five-hundred-thousand-dollar market value limit. This ensures the tax credit remains relevant over time by automatically adjusting the property value threshold based on inflation.

Scope change

The bill now covers two related bills (3078 and 2672) instead of one, and the scope of the tax credit program was expanded to include an automatic inflation adjustment mechanism for the property value cap.

DEFINITION

Added a new definition for 'CPI' (Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers) to establish a standardized measure for inflation adjustments.

ELIGIBILITY

Modified the 'Qualified residence' definition to allow the five-hundred-thousand-dollar market value limit to increase annually based on the CPI, ensuring the program remains accessible as property values rise.

TECHNICAL

Updated bill numbering and section references to reflect the combination of HB 3078 and HB 2672 into a single House Committee Substitute.
