I’ve been asked a number of times about how senior citizens living on fixed incomes are to pay for tax increases (related to a proposed property tax being discussed in Neosho). Below is a link to the Missouri Dept. of Revenue’s site that discusses this specific issue.
An existing state program does offer some assistance. Here’s the link:

Whether we do or don’t have a property tax in Neosho in the future, seniors who qualify can still benefit from this program. If you have friends or families that may qualify, make sure they are aware of this program.
At what age do they consider you a senior citizen in order to qualify for this benefit? Is there also a state program available?
