Missouri Revised Statutes Title VII. Cities, Towns and Villages § 99.855. Tax rates for districts containing redevelopment projects, method for establishing--county assessor's duties--method of extending taxes to terminate, when

1. If a municipality by ordinance provides for tax increment allocation financing pursuant to sections 99.845 and 99.850, the county assessor shall immediately thereafter determine total equalized assessed value of all taxable real property within such redevelopment project by adding together the most recently ascertained equalized assessed value of each taxable lot, block, tract, or parcel of real property within such project, and shall certify such amount as the total initial equalized assessed value of the taxable real property within such project.

2. After the county assessor has certified the total initial equalized assessed value of the taxable real property in such redevelopment project, then, in respect to every taxing district containing a redevelopment project, the county clerk, or any other official required by law to ascertain the amount of the equalized assessed value of all taxable property within such district for the purpose of computing any debt service levies to be extended upon taxable property within such district, shall in every year that tax increment allocation financing is in effect ascertain the amount of value of taxable property in a redevelopment project by including in such amount the certified total initial equalized assessed value of all taxable real property in such area in lieu of the equalized assessed value of all taxable real property in such area. For the purpose of measuring the size of payments in lieu of taxes under sections 99.800 to 99.865, all tax levies shall then be extended to the current equalized assessed value of all property in the redevelopment project in the same manner as the tax rate percentage is extended to all other taxable property in the taxing district. The method of extending taxes established under this section shall terminate when the municipality adopts an ordinance dissolving the special allocation fund for the redevelopment project.
