AI Summary

  • Amends Missouri's homestead property tax credit program (Section 137.1055) by expanding the list of eligible counties through detailed population-based definitions for both "five percent counties" and "zero percent counties"

  • "Five percent counties" may increase a homeowner's baseline property tax liability by no more than 5% annually or the Consumer Price Index increase, whichever is greater; "zero percent counties" cannot increase liability above the 2024 initial credit year amount

  • Requires eligible counties to place a ballot measure before voters by the April 2026 municipal election to approve granting the property tax credit to homestead owners

  • Counties transitioning from "five percent" to "zero percent" status on January 1, 2028 must hold a new ballot measure in April 2028

  • New construction, improvements, or annexation into new taxing jurisdictions will adjust the baseline tax liability; taxpayers cannot claim this credit simultaneously with the credit under Section 137.1050
