LIABILITY FOR TAXES
Taxes are due on December 31 on property owned on assessment date, i.e. A person moves into Missouri on March 1, 2022. He/she is not assessed until January 1, 2023 and does not pay taxes on property owned that date until December of 2023. A person moves out of Missouri in June of 2022. He/she was assessed January 1, 2022 on property owned on that date and pays taxes for 2022 in Missouri even though he/she has moved away.
QUESTIONS?
Why am I being taxed on a vehicle I no longer own?
You are taxed based on vehicles owned on January 1st of the tax year. Even if you no longer own the
vehicles, even if you now own different vehicles, even if you now own no vehicles, you still pay tax based on what you owned on the first day of the year.
Why is my tax bill so high?
The amount of tax you owe is based on the vehicles you owned January 1st of that year. The value of the vehicles is established by the County Assessor using a standard rate book. The assessed value of your vehicles can be found in the lower right side of your statement.
I am
no longer a Missouri resident, do I still owe?
Yes. By state law, your tax obligation is established on January 1st. Even if you move to a different state the next day, you are still taxable for the year. Unfortunately, the law makes no provision for pro-rating the tax bill.
How do I avoid paying late fees?
Your payment must be postmarked no later than December 31st. Payments postmarked after that date will be returned for late penalties.
What
do I need in order to get my license plates?
You will need to take the following information to the license bureau: A paid tax receipt or waiver from the previous year; an inspection slip (unless the car is new); proof of insurance, and a renewal notice if available.
