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

Who it's for

Iron 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: Initial Application Deadline: April 1st to June 30th. Iron County's collector page hosts a 'Property Tax Credit Program' flyer and fillable application. Flyer: 'This is an Iron County program, authorized by state law, that credits an eligible senior's real property tax bill. This was established by Missouri State Law, Senate Bill 190 (2023) and amended by SB756 (2024).' Base year is the year of application; credits are not retroactive. Apply online, by email, mail, or in person at the collector's office. 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
