The Collector of Revenue annually taxes tangible personal property based on its assessed value. The assessor classifies property into three categories: real property (land and buildings); tangible personal property; and agricultural/horticultural. Missouri Personal Property Taxes are due by December 31 each year. Payments must be postmarked by that date in order to avoid late penalties. Payments can be made online or in person at the Collector’s office.
