Many counties across Missouri are already implementing, or are considering implementing, senior tax relief as provided for under 137.1050, RSMo. This does NOT mean seniors will no longer have to pay real estate tax. It also does not mean their real estate tax bill will necessarily remain frozen completely, as some tax levies may be exempt from being frozen, and some future property improvements may increase the base tax. It means that the amount of real estate tax owed will likely be less in future years than it otherwise would have been without this relief. This program does NOT include personal property. Please check with your specific county for more information.
St. Louis County
Seniors who meet the eligibility requirements have until June 30, 2025, to apply for BASE YEAR 2024. The first year the “credit” will be realized is on the 2025 tax bill, and that amount will be noted on your 2025 real property tax bill.
A quick, convenient, online application portal is available now. (Mailed in or dropped off documents will NOT be accepted.)
