HB 1766 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to personal property assessments

HB 1766 modifies how local governments adjust property tax rates when property valuations change. It requires counties, cities, and school districts to revise tax rates for different property types (like residential or commercial) to maintain the same total tax revenue as the previous year, excluding certain properties such as railroads and utilities. The bill sets limits on rate increases, preventing them from exceeding voter-approved ceilings or a 5% annual inflation cap. This ensures local governments collect consistent revenue after valuation changes while adhering to constitutional and legal constraints.
