SB 178 - This act requires the Jackson County Collector to
permit taxpayers with hardships to pay their real property taxes
in equal monthly or quarterly installments. To qualify, a
taxpayer, or in the case of joint ownership, taxpayers, must own
the property and use it as their principal residence. A hardship
is defined as either having a Missouri adjusted gross income of
less than $15,000 for an individual or $20,000 for a couple, or
being unemployed currently or at any time in the three months
prior to applying for the installment payment method. Interest
for delinquent taxes will only apply if the taxpayer(s) is more
than 30 days late paying any monthly or quarterly installment.
