Jasper County tax sales, Missouri

Verified

Jasper County's paper trail runs through two offices: Collector Steven E. McIntosh conducts the sale, and the County Treasurer posts the Delinquent Tax Sale Surplus Money List after it, with list PDFs for 2023 through 2026 on the county site. The list is updated after the tax sale on the fourth Monday of every August, which fixes the 2026 sale on Monday, August 24, 2026, and the next on Monday, August 23, 2027. The Treasurer's page also carries the surplus rule as changed in 2018 under RSMo 140.230, and splits the phone calls cleanly: the Collector at 417-358-0409 for redemption questions, the Treasurer at 417-358-0484 for surplus money.

Selling office: Steven E. McIntosh, Jasper County Collector of Revenue

Next sale: Monday, August 23, 2027 (2026 sale held Monday, August 24, 2026). The annual sale falls on the fourth Monday in August under s. 140.150. The County Treasurer posts the surplus money list after each sale; the 2026 list is posted, which confirms the 2026 sale has run.

After any Jasper County sale, the Treasurer's surplus list is the document that shows what actually sold and what surplus is waiting.

Research Jasper County parcels before you bid

A sale list gives you the parcels, the date, and the opening terms. It does not give you the owner, the value, or the rest of the picture: liens, foreclosure status, and parcel history. PropertyRadar is the data platform for that layer. It carries owner records, assessed and market values, foreclosure and tax data, and property history for parcels across Jasper County, searchable by address, owner, or county, including parcels that never reach a sale list.

How Missouri tax sales work

One August Monday runs most of the state. Under s. 140.150 the collector's sale falls on the fourth Monday in August. The delinquent list is published three consecutive weeks, and the sale is held in or adjacent to the county courthouse commencing at 10:00 AM, or by electronic media where the collector chooses (s. 140.170). Two jurisdictions in this set, St. Louis City and Jackson County, run court foreclosures instead and carry their own process on their pages.
The winner is whoever pays the required sum, and eligibility is policed. Under s. 140.190 the purchaser is the bidder who pays the taxes, interest and charges due. A buyer delinquent on other property must sign the non-delinquency affidavit, and a nonresident may not bid without filing a written consent to circuit court jurisdiction and appointing a citizen of the county as agent.
The certificate caps at ten percent, and the surplus is not yours. The certificate of purchase states an interest rate not to exceed ten percent per annum (s. 140.290). Anything bid above taxes and costs is surplus, held by the county treasury for the former owner (s. 140.230), and it earns the purchaser no interest at all under s. 140.340.
Redemption runs a year, and stays defeasible until the deed. Under s. 140.340 the owner, a lienholder or an occupant holds an absolute right to redeem for one year and a defeasible right until the purchaser actually acquires the deed. Redemption pays the purchase money, sale costs, title search and notice costs, interest at the certificate rate on the tax amount, and eight percent per annum on subsequent taxes the purchaser paid.
The deed is earned on paperwork, and missed paperwork is fatal. Under s. 140.405 the purchaser must run a title search and notify the record owner and every publicly recorded claim holder, by first class and certified mail, at least ninety days before taking the deed, then file the affidavit; failure to comply loses the purchaser's interest entirely. The collector's deed then vests fee simple (s. 140.420).
Unsold parcels climb a ladder, then leave the calendar. No covering bid means a second offering next year (s. 140.240) and a third offering the year after, the third carrying a ninety day redemption (s. 140.250). After the third offering the collector offers unsold parcels once every thirty days, and post-third purchasers take a deed immediately with no redemption; counties and cities may also hold parcels through a trustee under s. 140.260.

How bidding works in Jasper County

The eligibility gate is the statutory one: the non-delinquency affidavit, and for nonresidents the written consent to circuit court jurisdiction with a citizen of the county appointed as agent (s. 140.190). Jasper County publishes no additional bidder rules on the pages read.

Bid the tax amount, not the parcel, at first and second offerings. Interest runs at no more than ten percent and only on the taxes and costs; every dollar of overbid becomes surplus that earns nothing and waits on redemption to come back. On a contested parcel the disciplined Missouri bid stops where the certificate stops paying.
The ladder rewards patience. The same parcel returns as a second offering, then a third offering with a ninety day redemption, then in the post-third cycle with no redemption at all. A buyer who wants the property rather than the yield often does best at the bottom of the ladder, and the counties in this set run those later channels very differently, from Boone County's sealed bid post-third sales to Jefferson County's trustee.

Terms: what a bid actually costs

Deposit, Jasper County	No county deposit is published on the county pages read. No separate bidding deposit is stated by the Collector.
Payment, Jasper County	County payment forms and deadlines are not published on the county pages read; confirm with the Collector (417-358-0409) before the sale. The statutory purchase is payment of the taxes, interest and charges due, for a certificate of purchase.
What is sold	At a first or second offering, a certificate of purchase: a lien position, not the property and not a deed. The purchaser's road to ownership runs through the redemption period and the s. 140.405 notice process. At a post-third offering, what is sold is effectively the deed itself, issued immediately with no redemption.
The interest rate	The certificate states an interest rate not to exceed ten percent per annum (s. 140.290). The rate attaches to the delinquent taxes and sale costs. Nothing above that amount earns anything: the surplus belongs to the former owner.
The surplus	Any amount bid above the taxes, interest and costs is surplus, deposited in the county treasury for the former owner under s. 140.230, and noted separately on the certificate. On redemption it goes back through the county process; it is never yield, and pricing a contested parcel as if the overbid earned ten percent is the standard Missouri beginner's error.
Redemption money	The purchase money, the costs of sale, the purchaser's title search and notification costs, and interest at the certificate rate (capped at ten percent) on the tax amount, plus subsequent taxes the purchaser paid at eight percent per annum (s. 140.340). No interest is owed on any excess above delinquent taxes plus sale costs.
Redemption periods	One year absolute, and defeasible until the deed issues, for first and second offerings (s. 140.340). Ninety days for third offerings (ss. 140.250, 140.405). None at all for post-third purchases, where the deed issues immediately.
The deed path	Title search report from a licensed attorney or title company; notice of the right to redeem to the record owner and every publicly recorded claim holder at least ninety days before the deed, by first class and certified mail return receipt requested; affidavit at the end of the redemption period (s. 140.405). Counties apply an eighteen month outer limit from the certificate: miss the process and the purchaser's interest is lost.

Unsold parcels: the offering ladder

Parcels that draw no covering bid climb the statutory ladder: a second offering at the next year's sale (s. 140.240), a third offering the year after with a ninety day redemption (s. 140.250), and after the third offering, post-third offers in which the purchaser takes a deed immediately with no redemption. Counties and cities may also hold parcels through a trustee under s. 140.260. Jasper County posts the surplus money list after each annual sale, which is the public record of what the sale produced; no standing post-third list is published on the pages read.

Before you bid

Model the surplus at zero percent. Run every first or second offering bid with the overbid earning nothing and returning only on redemption. If the deal only works with yield on the full bid, it does not work in Missouri.
Calendar the deed process the day you buy the certificate. The s. 140.405 title search and ninety day notice, inside the eighteen month outer limit counties apply, are where Missouri certificates go to die. The buyer who diaries the process owns the deed path; the buyer who does not loses the interest entirely.
Read the county's channel before the state's frame. Eight counties in this set run ch. 140 sales, but no two run them identically: sealed bids in St. Louis County, GovEase in Clay County, courthouse steps elsewhere, and two jurisdictions, St. Louis City and Jackson County, run court foreclosures with no certificate at all.
