Missouri Revised Statutes Title X. Taxation and Revenue § 139.130. Cost of levy to be taxed--collector may levy, when--fees

1. Whenever taxes shall be collected by seizure or sale of goods and chattels, in addition to the amount of tax and costs of failure to pay the collector as provided by this chapter, the collector shall levy the necessary costs of the proceeding and the interest on the amount of the tax and costs of said failure for his trouble.

2. If the collector have reason to believe that any person charged with the taxes is about to remove from the county without paying his taxes, he may at any time levy such taxes with costs and charges, by distress and sale; provided, that in levying and selling personal property for taxes, the collector shall be governed by the same rules and be entitled to the same fees as sheriffs are or may be for like services upon executions.
