Boone County commissioners have voted to approve a senior real estate tax relief program. The relief is for Boone County residents who own their homes and are at least 62 years old.
939 the Eagle’s Mike Murphy was at the Boone County Commission meeting on Thursday, where commissioners voted to implement a program that would allow for a freeze on any annual increases. Commissioners excluded from the senior real estate tax relief program increases that would result from new voter-approved bond issues. That drew criticism during Thursday’s meeting from State Rep. Cheri Toalson Reisch (R-Hallsville), who appeared before commissioners to insist that was not the intention of Missouri lawmakers. She joined us live Thursday on 939 the Eagle’s “Wake Up Mid-Missouri”, telling listeners that Boone County commissioners are not following the new law.
Boone County Presiding Commissioner Kip Kendrick will join us live on “Wake Up” Friday morning at 7:10.
