How Tax Sales Operate in Missouri
Under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 140.150 et seq., delinquent property taxes follow a precise statutory timeline. Understanding the difference between bidding on Tax Deed (Offerings 1-3) and purchasing over-the-counter is essential for investors.
Bidding & Auction Process
Auctions are conducted online via Courthouse Steps (4th Monday of August) or in person by the County Collector of Revenue. Winning bidders are required to tender payment via wire transfer, certified check, or ACH within statutory deadlines.
Over-The-Counter Lands (Post-Third Offering Trustee OTC Deeds)
In Missouri, unsold properties or tax lien certificates become available as Post-Third Offering Trustee OTC Deeds. Buyers can purchase these parcels directly over-the-counter without attending an open outcry auction.
