Prohibits the seizure of certain property for delinquent taxes
SB 17 prohibits tax collectors from seizing a person's primary residence (including farm properties held in an LLC for farming) or personal property to collect unpaid taxes. The bill requires collectors to first make a demand for payment in person or by leaving a notice at the owner's home before considering seizure, and limits seizure attempts to after October 1st each year. This protects homeowners and owners of personal belongings from losing their primary residence or personal items due to tax debt. The law applies to all counties in Missouri and directly affects property owners who owe delinquent taxes on exempted properties.
