Modifies provisions relating to property taxes
SB 919 revises Missouri's property tax classification system by redefining key terms in Sections 137.016 and 137.115. It clarifies what counts as "residential property" (including manufactured home parks and owner-occupied bed-and-breakfasts with ≤6 rooms), "agricultural property" (adding urban community gardens and sawmills), and "utility/industrial property." The bill also adds a specific mechanism allowing local governments to adjust property tax levies to recoup revenue losses when multi-unit residential properties (5+ units) change classification. This directly affects property owners, local tax assessors, and municipalities managing property tax revenue.

MINOR
The bill was updated from its original introduction to a Senate Committee Substitute version, primarily changing the document title and version number to reflect committee review. The substantive policy content regarding tax definitions and exemptions remains unchanged, with only minor formatting adjustments to line breaks and spacing.
TECHNICAL
The bill's version number was updated from 3855S.06I (Introduced) to 3855S.07C (Senate Committee Substitute), and the document header was changed to indicate it is now a Senate Committee Substitute.
Minor formatting changes were made to line breaks and spacing within the text definitions, such as moving text from the end of one line to the beginning of the next, without altering the meaning.
The original introduction credit to Senator Nicola was removed, as the bill is now proceeding under the Senate Committee Substitute process.
