HB 660 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to certain special taxing districts

HB 660 modifies Missouri's rules for local tax proposals by prohibiting political subdivisions (like cities or counties) from resubmitting a rejected tax proposal to voters for two years after rejection. It allows exceptions if the new proposal changes the tax amount or applies to areas affected by a declared natural disaster. The bill also updates petition requirements for creating special taxing districts, requiring 50% of property value and 50% of property owners to sign, plus detailed service and funding plans. This directly affects local governments seeking to raise taxes through voter approval. The changes take effect August 28, 2025.
