Proposes a constitutional amendment granting property tax exemptions to certain disabled veterans
HJR 66 proposes a constitutional amendment to exempt certain disabled veterans' primary homes (homesteads) from Missouri property taxes. It would apply to Missouri residents who are honorably separated veterans certified by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for 100% service-connected disability compensation. The amendment would add this exemption to Missouri's constitution while requiring counties to replace lost tax revenue through a special tax on certain commercial property (subclass 3 of class 1) within the county. This revenue replacement mechanism would be calculated annually based on changes in property values to ensure taxing authorities maintain funding. The bill does not alter existing exemptions for other property types like religious organizations or manufacturers.
