Missouri Revised Statutes Title X. Taxation and Revenue § 150.340. Clerk to extend taxes, compensation for such duty--state to pay one-half

1. After the equalization has been completed, the county clerk shall extend on the book all proper taxes at the same rate as assessed for the time on real estate, and on or before the first day of November thereafter, he shall make out and deliver to the collector a copy of such book, properly certified, and take the collector's receipt therefor, which receipt shall specify the aggregate amount of each kind of taxes due thereon, and the clerk shall charge the collector with the amount of such taxes.

2. The county clerk shall receive as compensation for making the tax book, copy, filing statements, and certifying the same, the sum of six cents for each name or firm, one-half payable by the county, the other by the state. The members of the board of equalization shall receive the same per diem for services under sections 150.300 to 150.370 as fixed by law in relation to general property. In counties of the first class and the city of St. Louis the compensation herein provided shall be paid to the county or city treasury and not to the individual.
