With the upcoming de-population bomb this will not work. You're asking the younger generation to foot a larger portion of the tax bill when there will be less contributors. That is complex topic overall though.


MO needs a bill like CA has (prop 13).

Some people like having valuable assets. Then there's people like you who want their home to stay relatively worthless.

What a weird ****ing hill to die on.

"Please don't make my property worth more" is not something you hear everyday.

He's poor. What 40 year old single man would be upset that his sister is actually making him pay for a hotel and to board his dog for a vacation?

Yeah, it kind sucks to have your taxes based on the current market (keep going up).

Austin area is a good example of how this kind of tax system can force people to sell.



As you know CA doesn't do that when you are a home owner.

Nah it will still sell for twice what I paid for it, at least. Not worried about that.

County has to be fought tooth and nail for trying to steal from people though. You don't fight them now it will be worse next time.

I'll be voting for you!

We should forward this post to all of our elected reps. Best idea I've heard. I have paid a LOT of taxes for over 60 years. I'd appreciate a break.

Going to be funny as hell when they reassess your house and it comes back higher.

I have a neighbor across the street, two doors up, who's house has a couple of more features than mine - plus a new roof (I need one).....etc....valued by the county as $190k less than mine.

Another neighbor put his house up for sale for more than his realtor says he could get. His asking price is $65k below what the county has as his value. And he probably won't get that.

But the county does have lots of expenses, so they need the extra dough, what with removing statues and stuff. That ain't free ya know!

What an absolute shitshow LMAO

So at what age does the Missouri proposed bill have to reach retirement?

62-65-67?

COURT BATTLE COULD BE BREWING OVER MISSOURI BILL TO BRING PROPERTY TAX RELIEF TO SENIORS

A bill signed by Gov. Mike Parson that aims to bring property tax relief to Missouri senior citizens could end up in court. The legislation, sponsored by Sen. Tony Luetkemeyer, R-Parkville, would allow counties to freeze the property tax rates of Missouri seniors.

Doug Hayter, executive director of the Missouri Association of School Administrators, said the bill is vague.

“What is Social Security eligibility? Is it just at 62 to 65, 67, et cetera? How do you gather that information on birthdates about the person of the primary residence turns 65, so there’s a lot of semantics I think involved in the implementation of this that can be really tricky,” said Hayter. “Some have even questioned does the language say, is it insinuating this is only for the county’s portion of property tax paid? We don’t believe that’s the case. We think it means all taxing jurisdictions, but that question has been raised as well. So, I will be surprised as well personally, if this doesn’t eventually end up in court.”

anyone going to the meeting tomorrow?

Are you?

please do not troll this thread

Yeah, 'cause it'd just be flat immoral to quit taxing humans after they hit 65. Tax 'em as they're lowered into the hole...

It's not a troll, it's a valid question.
