Missouri House Forms Special Interim Committee on Property Tax Reform
State Representative Matthew Overcast has been appointed to the newly established Missouri House Special Interim Committee on Property Tax Reform, a bipartisan group focused on evaluating the state’s property tax system. Announced by House Speaker Jon Patterson on June 23, the committee aims to assess current property tax laws and propose enhancements that ensure fairness, transparency, and long-term sustainability for taxpayers and local governments.
Chaired by Rep. Tim Taylor, the committee includes 18 other House members, with Rep. Rodger Reedy as vice-chair and Rep. Kathy Steinhoff as the ranking minority member. Rep. Overcast’s regional insights and experiences are viewed as vital as property tax issues remain a pressing concern for Missouri homeowners and local officials.
Public engagement will be central to the committee’s efforts, with a series of hearings slated to commence on July 16 in Jefferson City. Additional meetings will occur in Lebanon and are expected in various locations, including St. Louis, Kansas City, and Chillicothe, to gather community input.
