FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from the State Tax Commission assume the proposal will have no fiscal impact on
their organization. Oversight does not have any information to the contrary. Therefore,
Oversight will reflect a zero impact in the fiscal note for STC.
Oversight only reflects the responses received from state agencies and political subdivisions;
however, counties, county recorders, county collectors and county treasurers were requested to
respond to this proposed legislation but did not. A listing of political subdivisions included in the
Missouri Legislative Information System (MOLIS) database is available upon request.
Oversight notes this proposal will cause a copy of the list of delinquent lands and lots to be
printed from 4 times down to 1 time in a newspaper of general circulation and, thereafter, the list
will be posted in the courthouse and on the county’s website if there is one. Oversight assumes
there could be a cost savings from this proposal for counties and will, therefore, reflect an
unknown savings to counties for this proposal.

FISCAL DESCRIPTION
This bill provides an alternative to posting the delinquent land tax notices from the currently-
required three consecutive weeks of printing in a newspaper published in the county, to one week
of printing in a newspaper published in the county during the third calendar week before the sale
and then two consecutive weeks of posting on the county website and in the county courthouse.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not
require additional capital improvements or rental space.
