Bill > HB2668

This bill modifies various provisions related to property taxes across numerous Missouri statutes. A key change is the standardization of how ballot questions for property tax increases or new taxes are presented to voters, directing that they must now follow the format outlined in section 115.706. This new format requires more detailed disclosures on ballots, including the name of the political subdivision, the type of property tax, current and proposed tax rates, the purpose of the tax, and potential impacts on different property types. The bill also repeals and reenacts numerous sections, indicating a comprehensive update to these tax laws. Additionally, it introduces a new section (67.496) that prohibits political subdivisions from advertising proposed taxes as not increasing taxes unless the measure genuinely results in no increase or a decrease in the tax rate. It also makes specific changes to how certain elections are scheduled, generally requiring property tax questions to be placed on general election ballots, with some exceptions.
