B&P notes that such property is currently assessed as either commercial or mixed-use (residential and commercial). Residential real property is assessed at 19% of true market value, while commercial real property is assessed at 32% of true market value. B&P notes that in addition to local property taxes, the Blind Pension Trust fund levies a statewide property tax of $0.03 per $100 value. Therefore, assessing such property as only residential real property will likely result in lower state and local property tax collections by an unknown amount. Officials at the State Tax Commission (STC) have reviewed this proposal and determined this proposal may have a negative impact on the taxing jurisdictions relying on property taxes as a source of revenue. Current statute allows assessors to assess single family homes as commercial properties if they are regular rented out for time periods less than a month, and this proposal would require assessors to assess these homes as residential property, which includes a lower rate. Officials from the Adair County SB 40 Board assume a reduction in funding from personal property and/or real property taxes would have significant consequences on critical supports for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), limiting access to critical supports for those who rely on them. Senate Bill 40 organizations such as Adair County SB40 Developmental Disability Board assess local needs and nurture a strong network of high-quality services that are essential to over 465 people with IDD and their families. These services, supported by personal property taxes, include employment opportunities, inclusive community programs, and vital resources for families. Officials from the Callaway County SB 40 Board assume a reduction in funding from personal property and/or real property taxes would have significant consequences on critical supports for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), limiting access to critical supports for those who rely on them. Senate Bill 40 organizations such as Callaway County Special Services, Callaway County, assess local needs and nurture a strong network of high- quality services that are essential to over 201 people with IDD and their families. These services, supported by personal property and/or real property taxes, include employment opportunities, inclusive community programs, and vital resources for families. Officials from the Department of Social Services, Lawrence County SB 40 Board, and the County Employees Retirement Fund (CERF) each assume the proposal will have no fiscal L.R. No. 2211H.01P Bill No. Perfected HB 1086 Page 4 of March 5, 2025 KLP:LR:OD impact on their respective organizations. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore, Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note for these agencies. Officials from the City of Kansas City assume the proposed legislation will have a negative fiscal impact for at least the first year. Oversight notes the following assessment value rates by subclass per the State Tax Commission manual: SubclassRate(1) residential19%(2) agricultural and horticultural12%(3) utility, industrial, commercial, railroad, and other property32% Oversight assumes the reclassification of single family short-term rental properties from 32% to 19% could result in a reduction in assessed values and subsequent tax revenues; therefore, Oversight will show an unknown negative impact to the Blind Pension Fund and local political subdivisions. Oversight notes local property tax revenues are designed to be revenue neutral from year to year. The tax levy is adjusted relative to the assessed value to produce roughly the same revenue from the prior year with an allowance for growth. However, some taxing entities have tax rate ceilings that are at their statutory or voter approved maximum. For these taxing entities, any decrease in the assessed values would not be offset by a higher tax rate (relative to current law) rather it would result in a loss of revenue. Oversight is uncertain what proportion of assessed value would be reclassified under this proposal. Oversight notes the Blind Pension Fund (0621) is calculated as an annual tax of three cents on each one hundred dollars valuation of taxable property ((Total Assessed Value/100)*.03). Oversight notes to reach a revenue impact of $250,000 on the Blind Pension Fund would require a change in assessed value of approximately $830,000,000. Based on information from the State Tax Commission’s website, Oversight notes the following assessed values by category: SubclassAssessed ValueResidential$81,710,151,058Commercial$30,214,171,778 Oversight received a limited number of responses from local political subdivisions related to the fiscal impact of this proposal. Oversight has presented this fiscal note on the best current information available. Upon the receipt of additional responses, Oversight will review to L.R. No. 2211H.01P Bill No. Perfected HB 1086 Page 5 of March 5, 2025 KLP:LR:OD determine if an updated fiscal note should be prepared and seek the necessary approval to publish a new fiscal note. Oversight only reflects the responses received from state agencies and political subdivisions; however, other local political subdivisions were requested to respond to this proposed legislation but did not. A listing of political subdivisions included in the Missouri Legislative Information System (MOLIS) database is available upon request. FISCAL IMPACT – State GovernmentFY 2026 (10 Mo.)

L.R. No. 2211H.01P Bill No. Perfected HB 1086 Page 6 of March 5, 2025 KLP:LR:OD FISCAL DESCRIPTION Currently, real property is divided into three separate classifications based on the use or purpose of the property. Each of the subclassifications of property are assessed at different rates. When real property is used for different purposes resulting in different classifications, the county assessor must allocate to each classification the percentage of the true value in money of the property devoted to each use. This bill requires that when a single-family home is leased, in whole or in part, for 30 consecutive days or less, such a home will not be considered "transient housing". This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
