Missouri property taxes

Varies

Are Property Taxes Deductible in Missouri?

Short answer: Yes on your federal return if you itemize, within the $40,400 SALT cap. Missouri adds its own break: Property Tax Credit (MO-PTC) up to $1,100 for homeowners or $750 for renters, claimed with your state return.

Also: MO-PTC for 65+, disabled, or certain surviving spouses; income up to $30,000 single owners, $27,200 single renters. Missouri has no general homestead exemption, but counties may freeze property taxes for homeowners 65 and older.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint) before you claim.
