Johnson County's senior tax credit starts with the Collector

For older homeowners around Warrensburg, Knob Noster, Holden, and rural Johnson County, the senior real-estate tax credit is a Collector errand, but it is not the same task as paying a bill. Tax receipts, delinquent bills, merchant licenses, and the senior credit workflow can share a counter without sharing the same rules.

Ordinance 25-01 is the local handle for the program under Missouri’s senior tax-credit authority. Johnson County’s senior tax credit page listed the 2026 application period as April 1 through June 30, 2026; that window has closed, and the county page carries each year’s current dates.

Before counting on the credit, the current senior tax credit page is the thing to check, and the Collector can say what Johnson County is accepting now. A small timing mistake can turn a real benefit into next year’s question.
