AI Summary

  • Missouri House Bill 2362, the "Disabled Veteran Property Tax Relief Act," creates a property tax exemption for disabled veterans on their primary residence, effective January 1, 2027

  • Property tax reduction equals the veteran's VA disability rating percentage (e.g., 70% disability rating = 70% tax reduction; 100% disability = full exemption)

  • Eligible veterans must be Missouri residents, have a VA-certified disability rating, own and occupy the property as their primary residence, and apply by April 1st each year with required documentation

  • Surviving spouses retain the exemption at the same disability percentage as long as they hold title, reside in the home, and do not remarry

  • Fraudulent applications result in a penalty of twice the improperly received exemption amount, and the program sunsets six years after the effective date unless reauthorized
