Auditor Galloway releases 2022 property tax rates review

Missouri State Auditor Nicole Galloway has released her office's annual review of local property tax rates. The State Auditor's Office has reviewed rates each year since 1985 to determine whether they are compliant with state law and to monitor rate adjustments to ensure revenue neutrality, as required by law. The office does not make recommendations on property tax rates or increases.

The report provides property tax rates reported to the State Auditor's Office for local government entities, such as cities, counties, and school and fire districts. In 2022, staff reviewed 4,852 property tax rates of 2,809 taxing authorities. For the eighth year in a row -- and the eighth year overall -- the State Auditor's Office found that no taxing authorities levied a tax rate that exceeded the tax rate certified.
