Collector's Deed

If the property sold at tax certificate sale has not been redeemed during the one-year redemption period, the holder of the Certificate of Purchase may apply for and receive a Collector's Deed to the property. A Collector's Deed can be issued to the Certificate of Purchase holder when all RsMO statutes have been met.

1. The Legal holder of the Certificate of Purchase is named as the original tax sale purchaser or the assignee on the original Certificate of Purchase.

2. A title search on the property has been made by an actual Title Company ninety days prior to the one year waiting period. A paid receipt, along with a copy of the search must be furnished to this office.

3. Certificate of Purchase holder has to notify by certified mail, return receipt requested, any person who holds a publicly recorded deed of trust, mortgage, lease, lien, or claim upon the property, as well as the property owner. This notice must explain their right to redeem within ninety days by contacting our office. The exact date, legal description and your return address must also be stated in your letter. Copies of all letters, receipts of mailings and all returned mail from the post office must be turned over to this office.

4. The Certificate of Purchase holder must sign and have notorized an affidavit that he has complied with all provisions as specified therein.

5. The Certificate of Purchase has been surrendered to the Collector.

6. Appropriate fees have been paid to the Collector including recording fees and any unpaid taxes.

Failure of the purchaser to obtain a Collector's Deed within two years from the date on the Certificate of Purchase will result in the loss of the purchaser's lien on the property. The property will then revert to the original Title holder.
