Missouri does not impose a statewide property tax cap on reassessment at sale, so your assessed value will be reset to market value upon purchase—contact the Crawford County Assessor's office immediately after closing to verify your assessed value and request a review if inflated. Crawford County offers a Homestead Exemption (amount set locally) and Senior Exemptions for owners 65+ and disabled residents; file your exemption application with the Crawford County Assessor to reduce your taxable value. Review your annual assessment notice carefully and file a formal appeal with the Crawford County Assessor by the county deadline if you believe the valuation is excessive.
