Homeowners in Webster County who are 62 years of age or older have until 5pm on Tuesday, June 30th to apply for a “Senior Property Tax Freeze” on their owner-occupied residential real estate taxes.
Webster County’s Senior Property Tax Credit program was launched in 2025. During that first year, the Webster County Clerk’s Office received over 2000 applications. Almost all were “auto-renewed” earlier this year. Those renewed taxpayers were notified with a white postcard mailed to them in April.
If you applied for the tax freeze in 2025, but did not receive a postcard stating your application was automatically renewed, you should contact the County Clerk’s office at 417-859-8683 before June 30th.
If you did not apply in 2025, you’ll need to come in person to the County Clerk’s office and fill out a new application by June 30th. The eligibility requirements are: you must be age 62 or above (effective January 1 of this year); you must own your home; and you must be current on your property taxes. New applicants should bring copies of: driver’s license (proof of age); voter information card (proof of residency); and a copy of their paid property tax receipt.
The tax credit only applies to the owner-occupied residential real estate portion of your property taxes – not commercial property, rental properties, or personal property such as vehicles, etc.
For more information, you can call the the County Clerk’s office at 417-859-8683 or email [email protected] .
