Posted: 04/03/2026, 10.00am (RSMo 610.020) Newton County Voters to Decide Homestead Real Estate Tax Credit Question on April 7, 2026 Ballot
Newton County, Missouri – Newton County voters will soon decide whether to approve a Homestead Real Estate Tax Credit authorized by Senate Bill 3 (2025) and codified in 137.1055, RSMo. The measure, if approved, would limit the amount property taxes can increase on eligible primary residences (homesteads) while protecting local services and ensuring the credit applies only where intended. The ballot question, which will appear on the April 7, 2026 General Municipal Election ballot, reads: “Shall the County of exempt eligible taxpayers from certain tax increases on eligible taxpayers’ primary residence above the liability incurred during the initial credit year?” □ YES □ NO A YES vote would authorize the credit, while a NO vote would not authorize the credit. Under the program, the real property tax liability on an eligible taxpayer’s homestead would not increase more than the greater of five percent (5%) per year or the percent increase in the Consumer Price Index above the amount paid in the “initial credit year”. The credit applies only to a taxpayer’s primary residence—the home they actually live in. It does not apply to rental properties, agricultural land, commercial property, personal property, or second homes. If approved, the County anticipates the tax credit would be implemented no later than tax year 2027. The credit will:
Voters should be aware that there are ongoing lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of SB 3 which may affect the validity, implementation or applicability of the Homestead Tax Credit statement – regardless of whether voters approve the ballot question. If the courts find the relevant provisions unconstitutional, the credit may not take effect or may take effect and later be declared unlawful. If the courts uphold SB 3, then the vote on the ballot question will determine whether the Homestead Tax Credit will apply in the county. The program is separate from the existing Senior Property Tax Credit under SB 190. Eligible seniors may qualify for both programs, but they will not receive a tax credit under both programs.
