Boone's senior real estate tax relief is a county program
Boone County has its own senior real estate tax relief program, so older homeowners should check the county application rules rather than assuming the state credit is the only route.
An older Boone County homeowner may be looking at two different tax-relief paths. Boone County’s senior real estate tax relief program is local county paperwork. Missouri’s Property Tax Credit Claim is a separate statewide program.
For the 2026 tax year, new county applicants can apply between April 1 and June 30 if they meet the local rules. Boone’s county program is for a resident who was at least 62 before January 1 of the first credit year, owns or has a legal interest in the main home, and is liable for the real property tax on that homestead.
Start with the Boone County program page or Collector’s Office for the county relief form. Use Missouri DOR for the statewide credit. The names sound alike, but the forms, tests, and deadlines are not the same.
