Senior Quad Payment Program

Spread Real Estate Tax Bill Over 4 Installments

The Senior Citizen Quad Payment Program gives Jackson County seniors the option to pay their County real estate tax bill in four equal installments -- without interest or penalties applying. The installment payments are due December 31 of the tax year and then February 28, May 31 and August 31 of the following year.

This program does not apply to non-real estate taxes. To qualify:

• The Taxpayer must be 62 or older by December 31 of the tax year.
• The Taxpayer must live at the address which you desire to have covered by the installment option.
• The Taxpayer (not a trust) must own this real estate in fee simple or as a co-tenant, by tenancy in common, joint tenancy or tenancy by entirety.
• All prior year taxes must be paid and not be delinquent.
• The property is assessed solely as a residential property.
• The Taxpayer must apply for the program and meet all requirements to remain in the program.
• If the property is put into a trust it will no longer qualify to remain in the Senior Quad Program.

Senior Property Tax Credit Program

In accordance with the current updates to Missouri State Statue 137.1050, Jackson County has now established an application process to bring senior citizens much-needed tax relief on future years tax bills. The program now allows those taxpayers who are 62 years of age or older to receive a credit on future years tax bills that essentially establishes their property taxes on their primary residence to the tax bill amount from the year of application/eligibility.

To qualify:

• The Taxpayer must be 62 years of age or older.
• The Taxpayer be the property owner, or have a legal or equitable interest in the home.
• The Taxpayer is liable for the payment of real property taxes on the home.
• The Taxpayer must occupy the property as their primary residence.
• The year of the Taxpayer's application and eligibility establishes the base tax year amount, and credits appear in the years following.
