12. Are there any discounts for senior citizens or disabled people?
Under the Homestead Tax Credit program, senior citizens age 65 or older and persons with disabilities with incomes up to $70,000 may be eligible for a tax credit if their tax bill increases more than 5% as a result of this year's reassessment. The program is subject to funding by the state legislature.
The Homestead Tax Credit program is separate from the existing Missouri Property Tax Credit, commonly known as the "Circuit Breaker." The Circuit Breaker program has lower income limits of $25,000 for an individual and $27,000 for a couple and is not dependant on the amount of increase in the applicant's real estate tax bill. A person eligible for both programs can only apply for one.
City of St. Louis residents needing more information about the Homestead program may call (314) 622-4850 for more information. City residents may call the St. Louis Area Agency on Aging at 612-5918 for more information about the Circuit Breaker program. Forms for both programs are also available at many senior centers and libraries.
Residents outside the City of St. Louis may contact the Missouri Department of Revenue at 1-800-877-6881 or their local Assessor's Office for forms and information.
