PROPERTY TAX CREDIT FROM ROGER PRUDEN

Roger Pruden Assessor of Bates County, would like to inform senior citizens and disabled persons with limited incomes about a program that offers property tax relief. The Missouri Property Tax Credit provides refunds of income tax credits for a portion of the real estate taxes or rent they have paid for a year. The credit is based on the amount of real estate taxes or rent paid and total household income. “Rent” includes money paid for a home, a room in a nursing home and apartment or a mobile home unit. A person may receive a credit or refund up to $70.00 for renters and $1,100 for owners on property taxes or rent paid. To find out more about the program, call the Missouri Department of Revenue at 573-751-3505 orhttp://dor.mo.gov/personal/ptc/.
