Missouri: Realtors working against tax initiative
An initiative petition amending the Missouri Constitution to prohibit the tax of real estate sales and transfers would prevent any government entity from unfairly taxing one segment of the population, Realtor David Rogers said Feb. 10 at an Ozarks Board of Realtors meeting. Rogers is a broker/owner of Re/Max Hidden Creek in Independence and the 2009 president of the Missouri Association of Realtors. At the request of real estate boards, Rogers travels to various boards around the state to discuss a real estate transfer tax Missourians could face if the initiative doesn’t pass.
