Property tax is a local tax based on the value of your home, which is assessed by the county. In Missouri, your home is assessed at 19 percent of its market value. According to Tax Foundation research, the 2023 average property tax rate of 0.88% when applied to the 19% assessed value creates one of the nation's lowest effective tax burdens, though considerable variation exists across Missouri's 114 counties due to local fiscal policies.
