On Topic: Request for Waiver of Fees, Interest, Penalties, and Taxes
If the County made an error or omission in determining the amount of taxes due, on a property tax bill after August 2008, there is a new procedure in which taxpayers can claim a
waiver or refund of interest, penalties and taxes. Clay County Ordinance 2008-ORD-31 addresses the changes made to the Revised
Missouri State Statutes (RSMo), §§ 52.230, 52.240, and 139.031 by Senate Bill No. 711.
If you believe Clay County made such an error, you must complete the "Request for Waiver of Fees, Interest, Penalties, and Taxes"
form in its entirety. Please follow all instructions on the form and either bring the form and all required backup documentation
to the Clay County Administration Office or mail the form along with required documentation, to:
Clay County Commission
