Missouri Revised Statutes Title VII. Cities, Towns and Villages § 99.896. Abatement or deferral of real property taxes, requirements

An urban homesteading agency may recommend to the governing body the abatement, in whole or in part, of real property taxes due on urban homestead program property conveyed to an urban homesteader pursuant to sections 99.875 to 99.912, or the deferral of such taxes for a period not to exceed five years as provided in Article X, Section 7 of the Constitution. Such governing body may, by resolution, authorize such abatement, except that the abatement shall only apply if the property is owned for the entire tax year by the homesteader to which the homestead agency originally transferred the property.
