Questions

Start with the question people actually ask.

Missouri rules often sound simple until county, city, school district, and vehicle paperwork layers show up. Pick the question closest to yours and start there.

Home and property

How does Missouri calculate property tax? Why is reassessment such a big deal in odd-numbered years? What should I watch for at reassessment? How does the county senior property tax freeze work?

Cars and paperwork

What do I need to title a vehicle in Missouri? Why do I need a personal property tax receipt to renew plates? Which places need emissions inspections? Why did I get a car tax bill after selling the car?

Local money rules

Do St. Louis and Kansas City have a local earnings tax? Do other Missouri cities have the same earnings tax? What is the Missouri Property Tax Credit? Why does a Kansas City address still need county research?
