Senior relief
Cole County Senior Real Estate Tax Freeze Program: the official 2026 application requires the applicant to be 62 or older before January 1, 2026 and occupy the property as a primary residence; completed application and required documents were due June 30, 2026. County FAQ states the program does not freeze the assessed value or the real-estate tax itself; it provides a credit against eligible increases.
Valuation limits
No general local annual valuation cap was verified. Cole County’s senior program is a tax credit and does not freeze the real-estate tax or assessed value; Missouri uses odd-year reassessment and 12%/19%/32% statutory ratios.
For a valuation appeal, use the appeal date in the tax and filing section above. Keep your notice, supporting evidence, and proof of submission.
