Currently, any county other than a township county may, by order or ordinance, allow its taxpayers the option to pay any part of their real and personal property taxes on an annual, semiannual, or quarterly basis.
This bill allows township counties the option to pass such an order or ordinance.
This bill is similar to HB 388 (2025).
PROPONENTS: Supporters say that this bill simply allows township counties to offer the same service to taxpayers that all other counties are authorized to provide.
Testifying in person for the bill were Representative McGaugh; Missouri Association of Counties; MO County Collectors Association; Darlene Shipp, Collector-Treasurer; Ike Skelton, Camden County Commission; and Arnie Dienoff.
