Transfer Tax Amendment

The Missouri Attorney General began to defend the Secretary of State's position on discarding valid voter names on the petition abolishing transfer taxes. When MAR sent a Call to Action to our Missouri Realtors, the Attorney General's office was immediately inundated with a 1000 emails. It was so overwhelming, the Attorney General requested a stop to the Call to Action. I extend a "good job" greeting to all who responded. Our voice is being heard!

Transfer Tax Amendment

Transfer tax will come to a vote in Missouri! Through the valiant efforts of our MAR committee, the courts agreed there were enough valid signatures on the petition drive to place "transfer tax" on the ballot. Voters will now have the opportunity to say YES, they never want a transfer tax levied on real estate at the time of closing. When real estate owners pay taxes every year, there is no reason for owners and buyers to be further taxed. Enough is enough.
