Urgent Reminder: Deadline Approaching for Property Taxes in Missouri

December 21, 2024 - 10:42

Residents of Missouri are being urged to settle their personal property and real estate taxes by the rapidly approaching deadline of December 31. This reminder comes from Michelle McBride, the St. Charles County Collector of Revenue, who emphasizes the importance of these payments in supporting essential public services.

Missourians who own vehicles, farm equipment, boats, and other forms of personal property are particularly encouraged to ensure their taxes are paid on time. The funds collected from these taxes play a crucial role in maintaining local infrastructure, schools, and community services that residents rely on daily.

McBride noted that timely payments help avoid penalties and ensure that vital services continue to operate smoothly. As the end of the year draws near, residents are advised to check their tax obligations and make necessary arrangements to fulfill them before the deadline hits. Failure to do so may result in additional fees or complications, making it imperative for property owners to act promptly.
