Bill Summary · HB 2746

Legislative bill overview

HB 2746 requires Missouri's Department of Revenue to create and maintain a property tax mapping feature and ensure these tax maps are easily accessible on the department's homepage. The bill mandates prominent placement of these maps to improve public access to property tax information.

Why is this important

Property tax maps are essential public records that affect property owners' ability to understand their tax assessments, plan purchases, and challenge valuations. Improved digital accessibility reduces barriers for citizens to access government information and could increase transparency in the property tax system.

Potential points of contention

  • Implementation costs: Creating and maintaining a comprehensive mapping system requires IT infrastructure, staff training, and ongoing updates, with unclear funding mechanisms in the bill
  • Data accuracy and maintenance: Tax maps require constant updates as properties change; the bill doesn't specify standards for currency or who maintains data accuracy
  • Privacy and security concerns: Making detailed property mapping publicly prominent could raise concerns about data security, potential misuse for targeting, or privacy implications for property owners
