If you’ve been thinking about selling your home or investment property in Missouri, 2025 just brought some very good news.
As of January 1, 2025, Missouri has eliminated the state capital gains tax for individuals.

This means when you sell certain assets — including real estate — you’ll no longer owe state tax on the profits from the sale.

This new tax change applies to profits from the sale of:

• Real estate (including your primary home and investment properties)

• Stocks and bonds

• Cryptocurrency

• Other qualifying assets

Previously, Missouri taxed capital gains at rates up to 4.7%. Now, that rate is 0% at the state level.

It’s important to remember:

• Federal capital gains tax still applies — this change only impacts Missouri’s state-level tax.

• You may still have other closing costs, fees, and federal taxes to consider.

For homeowners and investors in Dardenne Prairie and across St. Charles County, this could mean thousands of dollars saved when selling a property.
It could also influence when you decide to sell — especially if you’ve been waiting for the right moment to list your investment property or cash out gains.

For example, on a $500,000 home with $200,000 in profit, you could save up to $9,400 compared to what you might have paid in combined taxes before.

If you’ve been on the fence about selling your Dardenne Prairie home, this tax change might make it an even smarter move in 2025.
Every situation is different, so talk with your tax professional — and let’s discuss the best strategy for your sale.
