How does Missouri assess RVs differently from mobile homes?

Missouri classifies recreational vehicles as tangible personal property and assesses them at 33-1/3% of market value, while manufactured or mobile homes are assessed at 19% of market value. Both are assessed annually, but the different rates reflect how each type of property is classified under Missouri law.

Do I need to report my RV every year in Missouri?

Yes, Missouri requires taxpayers to file an assessment list with their county assessor each year after January 1 and before March 1, reporting the make, model, and age of any recreational vehicles they own. Assessment is based on property you owned as of January 1 of the tax year, and missing the deadline can result in a late filing penalty.

How does the 33-1/3% assessment rate affect my actual tax bill in Missouri?

The 33-1/3% rate is used to calculate your assessed value, which is then multiplied by your local tax rate to determine what you owe. For example, an RV with a $30,000 market value would carry an assessed value of $10,000, and your county's tax rate per $100 of assessed value is then applied to that figure.

Does active duty military status affect RV property taxes in Missouri?

If you are active duty military with Missouri as your home of record, you are still assessed for personal property taxes in your Missouri county of residence, even if you are stationed elsewhere. Under the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act, the state where you are stationed is generally expected to waive personal property taxes on those vehicles.
