Tax relief and valuation review
A homestead exemption, senior-relief program, or valuation protest can change the amount a homeowner owes—but only if the filing reaches the right local office in the correct window. Use the verified county guidance below as your working checklist, then confirm the current form and deadline with Camden County Assessor (Marty McGuire).
Relief programs
The filing guidance for this county is: January 2 through June 30, 2026, for Camden County’s 2026 SB-190 Senior Citizen Tax Freeze application; no general homestead exemption was verified. Use the official form or application channel, provide the residence and ownership documentation requested, and keep a copy of the submission.
Open homestead applicationCamden County’s 2026 SB-190 Senior Citizen Tax Freeze is for eligible primary-residence owners and is administered by the Assessor’s Real Estate Department at 50 Roofener Street; the official page states sign-up runs January 2–June 30, 2026.
No general local annual valuation cap was verified. Camden’s SB-190 program is a credit/freezing mechanism for eligible tax liability and does not cap market or assessed value; Missouri uses odd-year reassessment and 19%/12%/32% statutory ratios.
Appealing an assessment
Use the valuation notice and the county’s published protest guidance to determine the last day to file. Do not assume the payment deadline controls the appeal.
Gather comparable sales, photographs, repair records, appraisal evidence, property characteristics, and any documentation that explains why the assessed value is incorrect.
Submit through the official channel, save the confirmation, and attend the board or review hearing if one is scheduled. An appraiser or attorney can help evaluate evidence when the value or stakes are substantial.
The verified protest guidance for this county is: July 13, 2026 (Camden County says BOE appeals must be filed by the second Monday in July). The Missouri State Tax Commission complaint deadline is September 30, 2026, or within 30 days after the county Board of Equalization decision, whichever is later. If the language is not a specific calendar date, contact the office promptly for the current notice and board-review schedule.
