IMPORTANT NOTES: 

Late payment interest and penalty are due on all tax payments made after January 1st of the year for which tax is assessed in accordance with State Law (Sections 52.290, 139.100, 140.100 RSMo).  The late payment interest and penalty is calculated based on the date of payment receipt or on the postmark of the payment envelope.  It increases on the first of each month from January thru September and then again the following January and so on.

The Personal Property bills on this site only display the first asset from a bill. A paper bill should include everything owned on January 1st of the tax year (Section 137.115 RSMo). If a zero-dollar-due or no bill is showing, it could be because the Assessor did not receive the Personal Property Assessment Form 

This site will cease to accept payments at 12:01am on the 1st of each month.  It re-opens for payments  around the third business day of the month.  This is to allow sufficient time for updating to the current amount due.

Paying your tax bill:

• The Online Payment Transaction Receipt is not sufficient for license plate renewal.  The official Paid Personal Property Tax Receipt needed for license renewal will be mailed from the Collector's Office.  Please allow 5 business days for mail time and for updating the state database.
   
• Reminder: Partial Payments are accepted on existing bills.  Accounts must be paid in full to get the Personal Property Tax Receipt needed for Vehicle Registration Renewals.  All 2016 and prior Real Estate taxes must be paid in full to prevent their offering in the 2018 Tax Certificate Sale. 
   
• When funds submitted exceed the amount due on an account, a credit is typically placed on the record toward future taxes.  A written request (by mail or email) from the party making the payment and containing current contact information is required for the release of funds. Duplicate Payments, are typically rejected and returned.
