This act provides that the treasurer ex officio collector of a county with township organization shall no longer retain such title, and shall instead, assume the office of collector-treasurer on March 1, 2007. Until such date the township collector shall continue to perform the same duties and be subject to the same requirements and liabilities until his or her term expires. On such date though, the township collector shall cease to perform his or her duties and shall promptly deliver to the collector-treasurer, all books, papers, records, and property pertaining to the office. Notwithstanding other provisions of law to the contrary, the collector-treasurer shall obtain and hold the same duties, powers, and obligations previously granted to, and held by, the township collector. The collector-treasurer will also continue to perform the duties of the current "treasurer ex officio collector". Provisions have been made so that the consolidation of the duties of these two positions does not result in conflict.

The number deputies and assistants that are needed by a collector-treasurer shall be determined by the collector-treasurer, but he or she shall have no less than one full-time deputy.

This act eliminates provisions directed specifically at township collectors such as their election and requirement to take an oath. It also transfers the powers given to them with regard to collecting taxes to the treasurer-collector. Powers currently given to the treasurer ex officio collector that require interaction with the township collector have been transferred to other county officials such as the county clerk.

Whenever an appeal is resolved and the result causes money to be paid to the authority, such taxing authority shall not be required to make an additional adjustment to its rates during the same fiscal cycle once the deadline for setting rates has passed, but it shall adjust its rates due to such payment in the next rate setting cycle to offset the payment in the next taxable year.
This section defines "business personal property" as tangible personal property used in a trade or business or used to produce income.

Certain property including, but not limited to, livestock, farm machinery, grain and other crops, property of rural electric cooperatives, property subject to the motor vehicle registration provisions, and property assessed under Section 137.078, RSMo, are excluded from the definition. (Section 137.071)
In order to establish uniformity, each assessor shall use the standardized schedule of depreciation in this section to determine the assessed valuation of depreciable tangible personal property for the purpose of estimating the value of property subject to taxation.
Each assessor will value depreciable tangible personal property by applying the class life and recovery period to the original cost of the property according to the federal Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System life tables.
The depreciated tangible personal property will continue to have the depreciation factor last listed so long as it is owned or held by the taxpayer, so that the value of the property will remain at such rate.
The estimated value of property determined using the life tables is presumed to be correct, however, such estimation may be disproved by substantial and persuasive evidence of the true value under any method approved by the state tax commission. Such methods include appraisal using accepted techniques in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice or by proof of functional or economic obsolescence or physical deterioration.
For the purposes of appeal, the salvage of scrap value of depreciable tangible personal property may only be considered if the property is not in use as of the assessment date.
