MO HB559

Cities where voters have approved cost-recovery fees for housing, property maintenance, or nuisance ordinance enforcement may issue special tax bills against properties with violations

Unrecovered costs or fines delinquent for more than one year may be added to special tax bills or annual real estate tax bills, collected using the same procedures as real estate taxes

Unpaid special tax bills become delinquent and are subject to laws governing delinquent and back taxes, creating both a personal debt against the owner and a lien on the property

Cities may discharge special tax bills by ordinance if they determine a public benefit would result, including waiver of collection costs, accrued interest, and attorney fees
