Exemptions & appeals
Exemption filing

Senior relief
The official Scott County Collector site links both the Missouri Senior Citizen Circuit Breaker Tax Credit and a Scott County Senior Citizen Tax Relief Program; current 2026 eligibility and filing dates were not exposed in the reviewed official pages.
Valuation limits
No general local annual valuation cap was verified. Under Missouri law (RSMo §137.115), real property is reassessed in odd-numbered years; the odd-year assessed values generally apply in the following even-numbered year except new construction and improvements. Effective 2026, a residential assessed-value increase over 15% excluding new construction and improvements requires physical inspection. Statutory assessment ratios are 19% residential, 12% agricultural, and 32% commercial.
