Vernon County Commission Implements Property Tax Relief for Seniors
The Vernon County Commission has taken significant steps to provide financial relief for senior citizens by adopting an ordinance to implement Missouri Senate Bill 190 (SB190). This legislation offers a vital property tax relief measure through a real estate assessment freeze on the primary residences of eligible seniors.
Southern Commissioner John Shorten, Presiding Commissioner Joe Wilson, and Northern Commissioner Cindy Thompson have spearheaded the initiative to ensure that senior residents can benefit from this relief, aimed at alleviating financial burdens on fixed incomes. The new ordinance reflects the Commission’s commitment to supporting the senior community and addressing the challenges they face in maintaining their homes amidst rising property taxes.
As the implementation progresses, officials encourage eligible seniors to stay informed about application processes to take full advantage of the tax relief provided by SB190. This initiative is expected to have a positive impact on the local economy by allowing seniors to maintain their homes and remain part of the Vernon County community.
