Thank you to the Schuyler county republican committee for hosting this Q and A in Lancaster.
It was very hot but I think we had a pretty good time.

Why Schuyler County Needs a Senior Tax Freeze — Support Josh Sprague for Presiding Commissioner

Our seniors built Schuyler County. They raised families here, farmed our land, and kept our communities strong. But rising property taxes are forcing too many onto fixed incomes out of homes they’ve owned for decades. It’s time for action.
Missouri law allows counties to freeze property taxes for homeowners 62+ on their primary residence. The program caps taxes at a base year and credits future increases from reassessments — seniors still pay the base plus certain levies, but they gain stability and dignity.

Neighboring Adair County approved it in January 2026. They’re using the 2025 assessment as the base, with applications April–June. Hundreds have already signed up. — Many rural counties are moving forward. Schuyler should too.

Josh Sprague gets it. With his experience and commitment to practical solutions for our families, as Presiding Commissioner he’ll push to implement this relief through ordinance or referendum.
Let’s protect our elders so they can age in place right here at home. Support Josh Sprague for Presiding Commissioner and tell our county leaders: Seniors deserve a tax freeze now.
What do you think? Share this, tag friends, and let’s make it happen in Schuyler County! 💪

I’m Josh Sprague, and I’m running for Schuyler County Presiding Commissioner.

Friends and neighbors,

I’m proud to announce my candidacy for Presiding Commissioner of Schuyler County, Missouri.

Schuyler County has tremendous potential, and our hardworking families, farmers, and small business owners deserve leadership that works for them. I will focus on practical solutions that strengthen our economy while protecting our rural way of life.

My Key Priorities:

• Designate an Enhanced Enterprise Zone (EEZ) – Bring tax incentives and new investment to Schuyler County.

• Zoning & Land Use Reforms – Modernize our policies to protect property rights and reduce bureaucratic red tape so families and businesses can build and grow.

• Incentivize On-Farm Businesses – Support value-added agriculture, agritourism, and other farm-based enterprises so our farmers can earn more and keep dollars circulating locally.

• County Economic Development Plan – Create a focused plan centered on business retention and expansion to help our existing businesses thrive and attract new ones.

Government should be a partner to our people — not an obstacle. As your Presiding Commissioner, I will bring energetic, accessible, and results-driven leadership to the office.

Together, we can build a Schuyler County where our families want to stay, our farms prosper, and our businesses succeed.

I’m asking for your support and your vote. I look forward to meeting you, hearing your ideas, and earning your trust.

Thank you,

Josh Sprague

Candidate for Schuyler County Presiding Commissioner
