The Missouri Property Tax Credit Claim gives credit to certain senior citizens and 100 percent disabled individuals for a portion of the real estate taxes or rent they have paid for the year. The credit is for a maximum of $750 and can only be claimed on the home they occupied during the period being claimed. The actual credit is based on the amount of real estate taxes or rent paid and total household income. Click here for the Property Tax Credit Qualification Chart. (or continue down the page)

Homestead Preservation Credit (HPC)

(NOTE) The department administers two real estate tax assistance programs for qualified senior citizens and 100 percent disabled individuals, the Missouri Property Tax Credit Claim (MOPTC) and the Homestead Preservation Credit (HPC). If you own and occupy your home but your income restricts you from qualifying for the MOPTC, you may be eligible for the HPC. You can only receive ONE of the credits. You should determine which tax credit program is more beneficial to you. For more information regarding the HPC, contact (573) 7513505 or access www.dor.mo.gov/tax/personal/homestead.
