Proposes a constitutional amendment relating to a property tax exemption for certain disabled veterans
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to exempt Missouri veterans with a total service-connected disability from property taxes on their homesteads. To offset the revenue lost from this exemption, the measure requires counties to impose a new tax specifically on the personal property inventories of manufacturers, refiners, and merchants. The bill includes a mechanism to adjust this new tax rate annually based on changes in assessed property values and allows voters to approve or reduce the tax increase. If passed, the amendment would change the state constitution to permanently grant this tax break while ensuring local taxing authorities receive replacement funding.
