Missouri seniors would avoid personal property taxes if voters approve

The proposed amendment would exempt physical personal property owned by people age 65 or older from state and local taxes on that property. The exemption would cover physical items owned by individuals age 65 or older. It would not cover land or buildings. Lawmakers would need to send the amendment to voters, and voters would need to approve it. The proposal calls for a vote at the November 2026 general election or a special election called by the governor. It does not state when the exemption for older people would begin.
