How Tax Delinquent Property Sales Work in Missouri
Missouri is a tax-lien state. Each county holds an annual delinquent-tax sale on the fourth Monday of August, where investors buy a Certificate of Purchase on parcels with unpaid taxes. What you get depends heavily on the parcel's "offering." A parcel offered for the first or second time carries a full 1-year redemption period; a parcel reaching its third offering carries only a 90-day redemption; and a parcel that has passed the third offering is sold with no redemption at all, entitling the buyer to an immediate collector's deed. During redemption the certificate holder collects the redemption money with interest; if the owner does not redeem, and after the holder satisfies the mandatory notice to interested parties, the holder obtains a collector's deed. Skipping that statutory notice voids the deed, so most buyers budget for a quiet-title action.
Bidding & Auctions
Missouri sales are bid-up, not interest-bid-down. Bidding opens at the delinquent taxes, interest, penalties, and costs, and the parcel goes to the highest bidder who meets or exceeds that opening. Any surplus above the opening bid is held by the county for the owner or lienholders — not paid to the certificate buyer. Most counties run in-person courthouse sales; some larger jurisdictions, including the City of St. Louis, use their own processes, and there is no single dominant statewide platform. Registration ahead of the sale is generally required.
Redemption & Penalties
Redemption depends on the offering tier. First and second offerings give the owner one year from the sale — and practically until the buyer actually takes the collector's deed — to redeem. Third-offering parcels carry a 90-day redemption period running from the required post-sale notices. Post-third-offering parcels have no redemption; the buyer is entitled to an immediate collector's deed. To redeem, the owner pays the certificate purchase amount plus up to 10% per year interest, plus interest on any subsequent taxes the holder paid, plus costs. The surplus portion bid above the opening amount earns the holder no interest.
See Revised Statutes of Missouri, Chapter 140. Specific procedures vary by county — always verify with the local tax assessor/collector before bidding.

When is the Missouri tax sale?▾
Annually on the fourth Monday of August, county by county, under Chapter 140 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri.
What is a "third offering" in Missouri?▾
The redemption period shrinks as a parcel is re-offered. First and second offerings carry a 1-year redemption; a third offering carries just 90 days; and post-third-offering parcels are sold with no redemption and yield an immediate collector's deed.
How much interest does a Missouri certificate earn?▾
Up to 10% per year on the certificate amount, set in the certificate itself. The surplus you bid above the opening amount earns no interest and is held by the county for the owner or lienholders.
Do I get the property if the owner doesn't redeem?▾
Only after you serve the mandatory statutory notice to all interested parties; then you can obtain a collector's deed. Skip that notice and the deed is void, so budget for a quiet-title action.
