Boone County Commission to Hold Additional Public Hearings Regarding Senior Citizen Tax Relief Program

April 10, 2024 – With voter approval of Proposition 1 on April 2,  the Boone County Commission will hold four (4) public hearings regarding the senior citizen tax relief program, which will be held as follows:  

• Thursday, April 18 at 1:30 p.m. – Boone County Commission Chambers, Roger B. Wilson Boone County Government Center, 801 E. Walnut St., Columbia, MO
• Thursday, April 25 at 1:30 p.m. – Hallsville City Hall, 202 MO-124, Hallsville, MO
• Thursday, May 2 at 1:30 p.m. – Centralia City Hall, 114 S. Rollins St., Centralia, MO
• Thursday, May 9 at 1:30p.m. – Ashland City Hall, 101 W. Broadway, Ashland, MO

The meetings are open to the public, who are welcome and encouraged to attend.

The Boone County Commission has begun the public process of drafting a policy and addressing key elements of the senior citizen tax relief program. The approval of said policy will not occur until the conclusion of the 2024 Missouri Legislative Session, since cleanup legislation regarding the senior citizen property tax freeze is currently being debated in the Missouri General Assembly. The legislative session concludes at 6:00PM on Friday, May 17, at which time the parameters of the legislation will be better known.

The Commission welcomes feedback, as the adoption of said policy will be the result of a public process that includes public input from these hearings.
