There is a 2.45% transaction fee for all credit and debit card payments and a $1.25 fee for ACH transactions.

Missouri State Statutes mandate the assessment of a late 2% penalty and a 2% interest for taxes that remain unpaid after December 31st. Delinquent payments are subject to a one time penalty of 2% and interest at 2% per month, up to a maximum of 18% per year. Interest will continue to be assessed until the tax amount has been paid in full.

What to Expect

Once your payment has been processed, your receipt will be available online.
