How to apply for Senior Property Tax Freeze (SB 190) — Greene

Who it's for

Greene County has adopted Missouri's senior property tax credit (SB 190): homeowners 62 or older can freeze the real-estate tax bill on their primary home, so it stops rising in later years. Applications: January 1 - June 30. Greene County Collector of Revenue administers the RSMo 137.1050 Senior Tax Credit. The page states the credit 'will allow qualified, senior taxpayers to lock down their real estate taxes, effectively freezing their bill for future years.' As of January 1, 2026 annual renewal is no longer required, but recipients must self-report changes in ownership or occupancy within 45 days. Remote applicants must submit a copy of a government-issued photo ID showing date of birth. Apply through the county's program office.

What you'll need

• Proof of age 62+ (government ID)
• Proof of ownership and that the home is the primary residence
• Current paid tax receipt / parcel information
