Two of Missouri’s largest counties and the city of St. Louis started the process for implementing property tax relief for senior citizens as the Missouri Senate is working to revise the law passed last year.
Senate Bill 190, sponsored by Sen. Tony Luetkemeyer, R-Parkville, and signed into law in 2023 by Republican Gov. Mike Parson, allows those eligible for Social Security retirement benefits to receive a tax credit that essentially freezes the property tax on their primary residence. Taxpayers need only to be eligible for Social Security benefits and not actually drawing on them.
