Missouri Revised Statutes Title XV. Lands, Levees, Drainage, Sewers and Public Water Supply § 247.120. Board--estimation of tax levy--county commission to levy tax

1. For the period and subject to the limitations contained in sections 247.010 to 247.220, the board of directors of any district organized hereunder shall, on or before the tenth day of May of each year, make estimates of the amount of taxes required to be levied to provide for the purposes of the district as specified in section 247.050.

2. Such estimates shall thereupon be certified by the clerk of the board and filed by the clerk of the county commission or the respective clerks of the county commissions of the counties in which the district is situate. Upon the basis of such estimates the county commission or respective county commissions shall proceed to levy a tax upon all taxable property within the district, sufficient to provide the funds required by such estimates.

3. The clerk of the county commission or respective clerks of the county commissions shall enter such levies on the tax books of the county in the same manner as school district taxes are entered, for the use of the county collector. The taxes thus levied and extended upon the tax books shall be collected and the payment thereof enforced at the same time and in the same manner as is provided for the collection and payment of taxes levied for state and county purposes and such taxes, when collected, shall be remitted by the collector or collectors of the revenue, to the treasurer of the district.
