What This Bill Would Do

Missouri property owners must now receive valuation increase notices from assessors by June 1 instead of June 15, and have until the first Monday in August instead of the second Monday in July to file assessment appeals. The measure also expands the required content for projected tax liability notices and mandates website access information for assessment computations in large charter counties.

Why it matters

Property owners gain an extra month to file assessment appeals while facing an earlier deadline for receiving property valuation notices from county assessors.
