How to apply for Senior Property Tax Freeze (SB 190) — Madison
Madison County (program authorized by RSMo 137.1050, adopted by county action)
Who it's for
Madison 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. The county's official site lists a 'Senior Citizen Tax Freeze Application' under Applications & Permits, confirming the county administers the SB 190 credit. Apply through the county's program office.
The freeze applies only to the primary residence, requires an application with Madison County (often annually), and county rules control what is frozen and any home-value limits — the county makes the final determination, so this shows as a may-qualify result.
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
