NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS - Sections 67.463 & 67.469

Currently, the Boone County collector is authorized to collect a fee when collecting special assessments for Neighborhood Improvement Districts. This act allows the Jackson County collector to also collect this fee.

This act also expands the existing law that allows liens against property to be foreclosed for failure to pay Neighborhood Improvement district special assessments, so that certain first class counties, charter counties, and the city of St. Louis may also foreclose on these liens by a land tax sale under the provisions of law that govern land tax sales in those counties.

These provisions are similar to HB 104 (2013) and SB 138 (2013). These provisions are also similar to provisions contained in HCS/HB 74 (2013), HCS/HB 161 (2013), HCS/HB 175 (2013), HB 197 (2013), SCS/HCS/HB 1035 (2013), SCS/SB 83 (2013), and CCS/SCS/SB 248 (2013).

NOTICE OF NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTS - Section 67.457

This act requires the county or city clerk of the governing body creating a neighborhood improvement district (NID) to file a notice with the recorder of deeds in the county where the land is located. Such notice shall contain the following information: each owner of property in the NID listed as a grantor, the governing body establishing the NID listed as a grantee, a legal description of the NID, and the identifying number or a copy of the ordinance creating the NID.

This provision is similar to HB 980 (2013) and SB 248 (2013). This provision is similar to a provision contained in SCS/HCS/HB 161 (2013), HCS/HB 175 (2013), CCS#2/SCS/HCS/HB 1035 (2013) and SCS/SB 83 (2013).
