Missouri Program Overview
Missouri’s Property Tax Credit Claim gives credit (a maximum of $750 for renters and $1,100 for owners who occupied their home) to certain senior citizens and 100 percent disabled individuals for a portion of the real estate taxes or rent they pay for the year. The actual credit is based on the amount of real estate taxes or rent paid and total household income (taxable and nontaxable).
Your state has active volunteers and organization partners that are available to help you complete your property tax relief application(s). If you’re interested in working with Property Tax-Aide support, visit our Contact us Page.
The information on this page is updated as new information becomes available by the relevant tax agencies.
