Missouri Revised Statutes Title X. Taxation and Revenue § 139.090. Receipt for payment--duplicates--payment on parts of tracts and undivided interests

1. Whenever any person shall pay taxes charged on the tax book, the collector shall enter such payment in his list, and give the person paying the same a receipt, specifying the name of the person for whom paid, the amount paid, what year paid for, and the property and value thereof on which the same was paid, according to its description on the collector's list, in whole or in part, as the case may be, and the collector shall enter “paid” against each tract or lot of land when he collects the tax thereon. The collector shall charge a fee of one dollar for any duplicate personal tax receipt issued by him.

2. The collector shall receive taxes on part of any lot, piece or parcel of land charged with taxes; provided, the persons paying such tax shall furnish a particular specification of the part, and if the tax on the remainder of such lot and parcel of land shall remain unpaid, the collector shall enter such specification in his return, to the end that the part on which the tax remains unpaid may be clearly known.

3. If payment is made on an undivided share of real estate, the collector shall enter on his record the name of the owner of such share, so as to designate upon whose undivided share the tax has been paid.
