HB 1790 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies provisions relating to tax levies by political subdivisions

HB 1790 modifies how local governments (like cities, counties, and school districts) manage property tax levies and ballot measures. It requires ballot measures about property tax changes to be labeled only with numbers or letters (not descriptive terms) and mandates that tax proposals clearly state the dollar impact per $100,000 of property value. The bill also establishes rules for adjusting tax rates when property values change, ensuring local governments maintain consistent revenue levels without exceeding voter-approved limits. These changes directly affect local governments that set property taxes and voters who decide on tax measures.
