51 subdivision is located once a week for two consecutive weeks prior to opening the proposals
52 or qualifications submissions or by a virtual notice procedure that notifies interested parties
53 for at least twenty various purchases, design contracts, construction contracts, or other
54 contracts each year for the political subdivision.
55 7. For each step, the political subdivision shall receive, publicly open, and read aloud
56 the names of the construction managers. Within forty-five days after the date of opening the
57 proposals or qualification submissions, the political subdivision or its representative shall
58 evaluate and rank each proposal or qualification submission submitted in relation to the
59 criteria set forth in the request for proposals or request for qualifications. The political
60 subdivision shall interview at least two of the top qualified offerors as part of the final

62 8. The political subdivision or its representative shall select the construction manager
63 that submits the proposal that offers the best value for the political subdivision based on the
SS #2 SCS HB 199 53
64 published selection criteria and on its ranking evaluation. The political subdivision or its
65 representative shall first attempt to negotiate a contract with the selected construction
66 manager. If the political subdivision or its representative is unable to negotiate a satisfactory
67 contract with the selected construction manager, the political subdivision or its representative
68 shall, formally and in writing, end negotiations with that construction manager and proceed to
69 negotiate with the next construction manager in the order of the selection ranking until a
70 contract is reached or negotiations with all ranked construction managers end.
71 9. A construction manager-at-risk shall publicly advertise, in the manner prescribed
72 by chapter 50, and receive bids or proposals from trade contractors or subcontractors for the
73 performance of all major elements of the work other than the minor work that may be
74 included in the general conditions. A construction manager-at-risk may seek to perform
75 portions of the work itself if the construction manager-at-risk submits its sealed bid or sealed
76 proposal for those portions of the work in the same manner as all other trade contractors or
77 subcontractors. All sealed bids or proposals shall be submitted at the time and location as
78 specified in the advertisement for bids or proposals and shall be publicly opened and the
79 identity of each bidder and their bid amount shall be read aloud. The political subdivision
80 shall have the authority to restrict the construction manager-at-risk from submitting bids to
81 perform portions of the work.
82 10. The construction manager-at-risk and the political subdivision or its
83 representative shall review all trade contractor, subcontractor, or construction manager-at-
84 risk bids or proposals in a manner that does not disclose the contents of the bid or proposal
85 during the selection process to a person not employed by the construction manager-at-risk,
86 engineer, architect, or political subdivision involved with the project. If the construction
87 manager-at-risk submitted bids or proposals, the political subdivision shall determine if the
88 construction manager-at-risk's bid or proposal offers the best value for the political
89 subdivision. After all proposals have been evaluated and clarified, the award of all
90 subcontracts shall be made public.
91 11. If the construction manager-at-risk reviews, evaluates, and recommends to the
92 political subdivision a bid or proposal from a trade contractor or subcontractor but the
93 political subdivision requires another bid or proposal to be accepted, the political subdivision
94 shall compensate the construction manager-at-risk by a change in price, time, or guaranteed
95 maximum cost for any additional cost and risk that the construction manager-at-risk may
96 incur because of the political subdivision's requirement that another bid or proposal be
97 accepted.
98 12. If a selected trade contractor or subcontractor materially defaults in the
99 performance of its work or fails to execute a subcontract after being selected in accordance
100 with this section, the construction manager-at-risk may itself, without advertising, fulfill the
SS #2 SCS HB 199 54
101 contract requirements or select a replacement trade contractor or subcontractor to fulfill the
102 contract requirements. The penal sums of the performance and payment bonds delivered to
103 the political subdivision shall each be in an amount equal to the fixed contract amount or
104 guaranteed maximum price. The construction manager-at-risk shall deliver the bonds not
105 later than the tenth day after the date the fixed contract amount or guaranteed maximum price
106 is established.
107 13. Any political subdivision engaged in a project under this section, which impacts a
108 railroad regulated by the Federal Railroad Administration, shall consult with the affected
109 railroad on required specifications relating to clearance, safety, insurance, and
110 indemnification to be included in the construction documents for such project.

123 builders who submitted proposals in accordance with the instructions of the request for
124 proposal. Architectural and engineering services on the project shall be evaluated in
125 accordance with the requirements of sections 8.285 and 8.291. Qualified design-builders
126 selected by the evaluation team may proceed to phase II of the selection process. Design-
127 builders lacking the necessary qualifications to perform the work shall be disqualified and
128 shall not proceed to phase II of the process. This process of short listing shall narrow the
129 number of qualified design-builders to not more than five nor fewer than two. Under no
SS #2 SCS HB 199 58
130 circumstances shall price or fees be a part of the prequalification criteria. Design-builders
131 may be interviewed in either phase I or phase II of the process. Points assigned in phase I of

142 participate in phase II of the process;
143 (2) A design-builder shall submit its design for the project to the level of detail
144 required in the request for proposal. The design proposal shall demonstrate compliance with
145 the requirements set out in the request for proposal;
146 (3) The ability of the design-builder to meet the schedule for completing a project as
147 specified by the political subdivision may be considered as an element of evaluation in phase
148 II;
149 (4) Up to twenty percent of the points awarded to each design-builder in phase II may
150 be based on each design-builder's qualifications and ability to design, contract, and deliver the
151 project on time and within the budget of the political subdivision;
152 (5) Under no circumstances shall the design proposal contain any reference to the cost
153 of the proposal; and
154 (6) The submitted designs shall be evaluated and assigned points in accordance with
155 the requirements of the request for proposal. Phase II shall account for not less than forty
156 percent of the total point score as specified in the request for proposal.
157 14. Phase III shall be conducted as follows:
158 (1) The phase III proposal shall provide a firm, fixed cost of design and construction.

165 (3) Proposals for phase II and phase III shall be submitted concurrently at the time
166 and place specified in the request for proposal, but in separate envelopes or other means of
SS #2 SCS HB 199 59
167 submission. The phase III cost proposals shall be opened only after the phase II design
168 proposals have been evaluated and assigned points, ranked in order, and posted;
169 (4) Cost proposals shall be opened and read aloud at the time and place specified in
170 the request for proposal. At the same time and place, the evaluation team shall make public
171 its scoring of phase II. Cost proposals shall be evaluated in accordance with the requirements
172 of the request for proposal. In evaluating the cost proposals, the lowest responsive bidder
173 shall be awarded the total number of points assigned to be awarded in phase III. For all other
174 bidders, cost points shall be calculated by reducing the maximum points available in phase III
175 by at least one percent for each percentage point by which the bidder exceeds the lowest bid
176 and the points assigned shall be added to the points assigned for phase II for each design-
177 builder;
178 (5) If the political subdivision determines that it is not in the best interest of the
179 political subdivision to proceed with the project pursuant to the proposal offered by the
180 design-builder with the highest total number of points, the political subdivision shall reject all
181 proposals. In this event, all qualified and responsive design-builders with lower point totals
182 shall receive a stipend and the responsive design-builder with the highest total number of
183 points shall receive an amount equal to two times the stipend. If the political subdivision
184 decides to award the project, the responsive design-builder with the highest number of points
185 shall be awarded the contract; and
186 (6) If all proposals are rejected, the political subdivision may solicit new proposals
187 using different design criteria, budget constraints, or qualifications.
188 15. As an inducement to qualified design-builders, the political subdivision shall pay
189 a reasonable stipend, the amount of which shall be established in the request for proposal, to
190 each prequalified design-builder whose proposal is responsive but not accepted. Such stipend
191 shall be no less than one-half of one percent of the total project budget. Upon payment of the
192 stipend to any unsuccessful design-builder, the political subdivision shall acquire a
193 nonexclusive right to use the design submitted by the design-builder, and the design-
194 builder shall have no further liability for the use of the design by the political subdivision in
195 any manner. If the design-builder desires to retain all rights and interest in the design
196 proposed, the design-builder shall forfeit the stipend.
197 16. (1) As used in this subsection, "wastewater or water contract" means any design-
198 build contract that involves the provision of engineering and construction services either
199 directly by a party to the contract or through subcontractors retained by a party to the contract
200 for a wastewater or water storage, conveyance, or treatment facility project.

214 payment bond the same as any person furnishing labor and materials. The performance bond
215 for the design-builder shall not cover any damages of the type specified to be covered by the
216 professional liability insurance established by the political subdivision in the request for
217 proposals.
218 18. Any person or firm performing architectural, engineering, landscape architecture,
219 or land-surveying services for the design-builder on the design-build project shall be duly
220 licensed or authorized in this state to provide such services as required by chapter 327.

222 railroad regulated by the Federal Railroad Administration shall consult with the affected
223 railroad on required specifications relating to clearance, safety, insurance, and
224 indemnification to be included in the construction documents for such project.
225 20. Under section 327.465, any design-builder that enters into a design-build contract
226 with a political subdivision is exempt from the requirement that such person or entity hold a
227 license or that such corporation hold a certificate of authority if the architectural, engineering,
228 or land-surveying services to be performed under the design-build contract are performed
229 through subcontracts or joint ventures with properly licensed or authorized persons or entities,
230 and not performed by the design-builder or its own employees.

75 result of fraud or other illegal conduct by an employee or officer of the
SS #2 SCS HB 199 74
76 political subdivision, the political subdivision shall not be subject to a fine
77 authorized under this section if the statement is filed within thirty days of the
78 discovery of the fraud or illegal conduct. If a fine is assessed and paid prior to
79 the filing of the statement, the department of revenue shall refund the fine
80 upon notification from the political subdivision.
81 14. If a political subdivision has an outstanding balance for fines or
82 penalties at the time it files its first annual financial statement after January 1,
83 2023, the director of revenue shall make a one-time downward adjustment to
84 such outstanding balance in an amount that reduces the outstanding balance by
85 no less than ninety percent.
86 15. The director of revenue shall have the authority to make a one-time
87 downward adjustment to any outstanding penalty imposed under this section
88 on a political subdivision if the director determines the fine is uncollectable.
89 The director of revenue may prescribe rules and regulations necessary to carry
90 out the provisions of this subsection. Any rule or portion of a rule, as that term
91 is defined in section 536.010, that is created under the authority delegated in
92 this section shall become effective only if it complies with and is subject to all
93 of the provisions of chapter 536 and, if applicable, section 536.028. This
94 section and chapter 536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers vested with
95 the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536 to review, to delay the effective
96 date, or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional,
97 then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after
98 August 28, 2022, shall be invalid and void.]

13 a summary of cash receipts, a summary of cash disbursements and the cash balance at the end
14 of the reporting period.
15 3. Within such time following the end of the fiscal year as the state auditor shall

22 within which the financial statement of the political subdivision is required to be filed with
23 the state auditor and until such time as the notice from the state auditor of the filing of the
24 annual financial report for the fiscal year has been received.
25 6. The state auditor shall prepare sample forms for financial reports and shall mail the
26 same to the political subdivisions of the state. Failure of the auditor to supply such forms
27 shall not in any way excuse any person from the performance of any duty imposed by this
28 section.
29 7. All reports or financial statements hereinabove mentioned shall be considered to be
30 public records.
31 8. The provisions of this section apply to the board of directors of every

36 department of revenue. Upon notification from the state auditor's office that a political
37 subdivision failed to timely submit a copy of the annual financial statement, the department of
38 revenue shall notify such political subdivision by certified mail that the statement has not
39 been received. Such notice shall clearly set forth the following:
40 (1) The name of the political subdivision;
41 (2) That the political subdivision shall be subject to a fine of five hundred dollars per

53 statement to the department of revenue within ten business days. Failure of the political
54 subdivision to submit the required annual financial statement within such thirty-day period
55 shall cause the fine to be collected as provided under subsection 11 of this section.
SS #2 SCS HB 199 76
56 11. The department of revenue may collect the fine authorized under the provisions of
57 subsection 9 of this section by offsetting any sales or use tax distributions due to the political
58 subdivision. The director of revenue shall retain two percent for the cost of such collection.

63 238.275 having] political subdivision that has gross revenues of less than five thousand
64 dollars or that has not levied or collected sales or use taxes in the fiscal year for which the
65 annual financial statement was not timely filed shall not be subject to the fine authorized in
66 this section.
67 (2) Notwithstanding any provision of law to the contrary, no political subdivision
68 with fewer than five hundred inhabitants shall be subject to the fine authorized in this
69 section, and any fine or fines previously assessed to such political subdivision but not
70 paid in full shall be deemed void. A political subdivision subject to this subdivision shall
71 timely file the annual financial statement under this section.
72 13. If a failure to timely submit the annual financial statement is the result of
73 fraud or other illegal conduct by an employee or officer of the political subdivision, the
74 political subdivision shall not be subject to a fine authorized under this section if the

77 shall refund the fine upon notification from the political subdivision.
78 14. If a political subdivision has an outstanding balance for fines or penalties at
79 the time it files its first annual financial statement after August 28, 2025, the director of
80 revenue shall make a one-time downward adjustment to such outstanding balance in an
81 amount that reduces the outstanding balance by no less than ninety percent.

88 complies with and is subject to all of the provisions of chapter 536 and, if applicable,
89 section 536.028. This section and chapter 536 are nonseverable and if any of the powers
90 vested with the general assembly pursuant to chapter 536 to review, to delay the
91 effective date, or to disapprove and annul a rule are subsequently held unconstitutional,
SS #2 SCS HB 199 77
92 then the grant of rulemaking authority and any rule proposed or adopted after August

107.170. 1. As used in this section, the following terms mean:
2 (1) "Contractor":

20 county, city, town, township, municipality, school[, road] district, or other political
21 subdivision of this state; or any official, board, commission, or agency of any of the
22 preceding entities;
23 (3) "Public official", any official, officer, employee, or member of a governing
24 body or board of a public entity, whether elected, employed, or appointed, and any
25 person serving in a capacity that could, under applicable law or at equity, be personally
26 liable for the failure to require the furnishing of a payment bond under this section;
27 (4) "Public works", the erection, construction, alteration, repair or improvement of
28 any building, road, street, public utility or other public facility owned by the public entity,
29 including work for nongovernmental purposes.
30 2. It is hereby made the duty of all public entities in this state, in making contracts for
31 public works exempt from attachment and execution under section 513.455, the cost of
32 which is estimated to exceed fifty thousand dollars, to be performed for:
33 (1) The public entity; or
34 (2) The public entity's lessee, agent, designee, or representative on work for
35 nongovernmental purposes,
SS #2 SCS HB 199 78
36
37 to require every contractor for such work to furnish to the public entity a bond with good and
38 sufficient sureties, in an amount fixed by the public entity. Such bond, among other
39 conditions, shall be conditioned for the payment of any and all materials, incorporated,
40 consumed or used in connection with the construction of such work; all insurance premiums,
41 both for compensation, and for all other kinds of insurance, on said work; and for all labor
42 performed in such work whether by a subcontractor, a supplier at any tier, or otherwise.
43 Remote suppliers shall not be entitled to recovery under the bond required by this section,
44 unless such suppliers shall have given written notice to the contractor that it has not been paid
45 within ninety days of the time the supplier last supplied materials on the public works project.
46 For purposes of this provision, a "remote supplier" is any material supplier to a public works
47 project having a contract with a second, or lower, tier subcontractor, or with another material
48 supplier of any tier.
49 3. All bonds executed and furnished under the provisions of this section shall be
50 deemed to contain the requirements and conditions as herein set out, regardless of whether the
51 same be set forth in said bond, or of any terms or provisions of said bond to the contrary
52 notwithstanding.
53 4. Nothing in this section shall be construed to require a [member of the school board
54 of any public school district of this state] public official to independently confirm the
55 existence or solvency of any bonding company if a contractor represents to the [member]
56 public official that the bonding company is solvent and that the representations made in the
57 purported bond are true and correct. This subsection shall not relieve from any liability any

64 an alleged act or omission occurring in the performance of a duty under this section. The
65 provisions of this subsection do not apply in case of malfeasance in office or willful or
66 wanton neglect of duty.
67 6. [Nothing in this section shall be deemed to require any contractor who provides
68 construction services for a public works project used for nongovernmental purposes and who
69 contracts with a public entity's lessee, agent, designee, or representative on such public works
70 project used for nongovernmental purposes to furnish a bond when the public entity's lessee,
71 agent, designee, or representative is required under this section to furnish a bond] If consent
SS #2 SCS HB 199 79
72 that meets the requirements of subsection 2 of section 513.455 has been executed and
73 recorded as therein required, no bond is required to be furnished under this section.
74 7. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to require any public entity's lessee,
75 agent, designee, or representative that contracts with a contractor to provide
76 construction services for a public works project intended be leased primarily to a
77 private entity for nongovernmental use to furnish a bond when the contractor is
78 required to furnish a bond under this section or in fact furnishes a complying bond.
79 8. The providing of a bond under this section shall preclude the filing of a mechanic's
80 lien under chapter 429 by any subcontractor or supplier. Any mechanic's lien filed in
81 violation hereof shall be void and unenforceable and shall be summarily discharged by a
82 judge of the county in which the mechanic's lien is filed.
137.115. 1. All other laws to the contrary notwithstanding, the assessor or the
2 assessor's deputies in all counties of this state including the City of St. Louis shall annually
3 make a list of all real and tangible personal property taxable in the assessor's city, county,
4 town or district. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3 of this section and section
5 137.078, the assessor shall annually assess all personal property at thirty-three and one-third
6 percent of its true value in money as of January first of each calendar year. The assessor shall
7 annually assess all real property, including any new construction and improvements to real
8 property, and possessory interests in real property at the percent of its true value in money set
9 in subsection 5 of this section. The true value in money of any possessory interest in real
10 property in subclass (3), where such real property is on or lies within the ultimate airport
11 boundary as shown by a federal airport layout plan, as defined by 14 CFR 151.5, of a
12 commercial airport having a FAR Part 139 certification and owned by a political subdivision,
13 shall be the otherwise applicable true value in money of any such possessory interest in real
14 property, less the total dollar amount of costs paid by a party, other than the political
15 subdivision, towards any new construction or improvements on such real property completed
16 after January 1, 2008, and which are included in the above-mentioned possessory interest,
17 regardless of the year in which such costs were incurred or whether such costs were
18 considered in any prior year. The assessor shall annually assess all real property in the
19 following manner: new assessed values shall be determined as of January first of each odd-
20 numbered year and shall be entered in the assessor's books; those same assessed values shall
21 apply in the following even-numbered year, except for new construction and property
22 improvements which shall be valued as though they had been completed as of January first of
23 the preceding odd-numbered year. The assessor may call at the office, place of doing
24 business, or residence of each person required by this chapter to list property, and require the
25 person to make a correct statement of all taxable tangible personal property owned by the
26 person or under his or her care, charge or management, taxable in the county. On or before
SS #2 SCS HB 199 80
27 January first of each even-numbered year, the assessor shall prepare and submit a two-year
28 assessment maintenance plan to the county governing body and the state tax commission for
29 their respective approval or modification. The county governing body shall approve and
30 forward such plan or its alternative to the plan to the state tax commission by February first.
31 If the county governing body fails to forward the plan or its alternative to the plan to the state
32 tax commission by February first, the assessor's plan shall be considered approved by the
33 county governing body. If the state tax commission fails to approve a plan and if the state tax
34 commission and the assessor and the governing body of the county involved are unable to
35 resolve the differences, in order to receive state cost-share funds outlined in section 137.750,
36 the county or the assessor shall petition the administrative hearing commission, by May first,
37 to decide all matters in dispute regarding the assessment maintenance plan. Upon agreement
38 of the parties, the matter may be stayed while the parties proceed with mediation or
39 arbitration upon terms agreed to by the parties. The final decision of the administrative
40 hearing commission shall be subject to judicial review in the circuit court of the county
41 involved. In the event a valuation of subclass (1) real property within any county with a
42 charter form of government, or within a city not within a county, is made by a computer,
43 computer-assisted method or a computer program, the burden of proof, supported by clear,
44 convincing and cogent evidence to sustain such valuation, shall be on the assessor at any
45 hearing or appeal. In any such county, unless the assessor proves otherwise, there shall be a
46 presumption that the assessment was made by a computer, computer-assisted method or a
47 computer program. Such evidence shall include, but shall not be limited to, the following:
48 (1) The findings of the assessor based on an appraisal of the property by generally
49 accepted appraisal techniques; and
50 (2) The purchase prices from sales of at least three comparable properties and the
51 address or location thereof. As used in this subdivision, the word "comparable" means that:
52 (a) Such sale was closed at a date relevant to the property valuation; and
53 (b) Such properties are not more than one mile from the site of the disputed property,
54 except where no similar properties exist within one mile of the disputed property, the nearest
55 comparable property shall be used. Such property shall be within five hundred square feet in
56 size of the disputed property, and resemble the disputed property in age, floor plan, number of
57 rooms, and other relevant characteristics.
58 2. Assessors in each county of this state and the City of St. Louis may send personal
59 property assessment forms through the mail.
60 3. The following items of personal property shall each constitute separate subclasses
61 of tangible personal property and shall be assessed and valued for the purposes of taxation at
62 the following percentages of their true value in money:
SS #2 SCS HB 199 81
63 (1) Grain and other agricultural crops in an unmanufactured condition, one-half of
64 one percent;
65 (2) Livestock, twelve percent;
66 (3) Farm machinery, twelve percent;
67 (4) Motor vehicles which are eligible for registration as and are registered as historic
68 motor vehicles pursuant to section 301.131 and aircraft which are at least twenty-five years
69 old and which are used solely for noncommercial purposes and are operated less than two
70 hundred hours per year or aircraft that are home built from a kit, five percent;
71 (5) Poultry, twelve percent; and
72 (6) Tools and equipment used for pollution control and tools and equipment used in
73 retooling for the purpose of introducing new product lines or used for making improvements
74 to existing products by any company which is located in a state enterprise zone and which is
75 identified by any standard industrial classification number cited in subdivision (7) of section
76 135.200, twenty-five percent.
77 4. The person listing the property shall enter a true and correct statement of the
78 property, in a printed blank prepared for that purpose. The statement, after being filled out,
79 shall be signed and either affirmed or sworn to as provided in section 137.155. The list shall
80 then be delivered to the assessor.
81 5. (1) All subclasses of real property, as such subclasses are established in Section 4
82 (b) of Article X of the Missouri Constitution and defined in section 137.016, shall be assessed
83 at the following percentages of true value:
84 (a) For real property in subclass (1), nineteen percent;
85 (b) For real property in subclass (2), twelve percent; and
86 (c) For real property in subclass (3), thirty-two percent.
87 (2) A taxpayer may apply to the county assessor, or, if not located within a county,
88 then the assessor of such city, for the reclassification of such taxpayer's real property if the use
89 or purpose of such real property is changed after such property is assessed under the
90 provisions of this chapter. If the assessor determines that such property shall be reclassified,
91 he or she shall determine the assessment under this subsection based on the percentage of the
92 tax year that such property was classified in each subclassification.
93 6. Manufactured homes, as defined in section 700.010, which are actually used as
94 dwelling units shall be assessed at the same percentage of true value as residential real
95 property for the purpose of taxation. The percentage of assessment of true value for such
96 manufactured homes shall be the same as for residential real property. If the county collector
97 cannot identify or find the manufactured home when attempting to attach the manufactured
98 home for payment of taxes owed by the manufactured home owner, the county collector may
99 request the county commission to have the manufactured home removed from the tax books,
SS #2 SCS HB 199 82
100 and such request shall be granted within thirty days after the request is made; however, the
101 removal from the tax books does not remove the tax lien on the manufactured home if it is
102 later identified or found. For purposes of this section, a manufactured home located in a
103 manufactured home rental park, rental community or on real estate not owned by the
104 manufactured home owner shall be considered personal property. For purposes of this
105 section, a manufactured home located on real estate owned by the manufactured home owner
106 may be considered real property.
107 7. Each manufactured home assessed shall be considered a parcel for the purpose of
108 reimbursement pursuant to section 137.750, unless the manufactured home is deemed to be
109 real estate as defined in subsection 7 of section 442.015 and assessed as a realty improvement
110 to the existing real estate parcel.
111 8. Any amount of tax due and owing based on the assessment of a manufactured
112 home shall be included on the personal property tax statement of the manufactured home
113 owner unless the manufactured home is deemed to be real estate as defined in subsection 7 of
114 section 442.015, in which case the amount of tax due and owing on the assessment of the
115 manufactured home as a realty improvement to the existing real estate parcel shall be
116 included on the real property tax statement of the real estate owner.
117 9. The assessor of each county and each city not within a county shall use [the trade-
118 in value published in the October issue of] a nationally recognized automotive trade
119 publication such as the National Automobile Dealers' Association Official Used Car Guide,
120 [or its successor publication,] Kelley Blue Book, Edmunds, or other similar publication as
121 the recommended guide of information for determining the true value of motor vehicles
122 described in such publication. The state tax commission shall select and make available to
123 all assessors which publication shall be used. The assessor of each county and each city
124 not within a county shall use the trade-in value published in the current October issue of
125 the publication selected by the state tax commission. The assessor shall not use a value
126 that is greater than the average trade-in value in determining the true value of the motor
127 vehicle without performing a physical inspection of the motor vehicle. For vehicles two years
128 old or newer from a vehicle's model year, the assessor may use a value other than average
129 without performing a physical inspection of the motor vehicle. In the absence of a listing for
130 a particular motor vehicle in such publication, the assessor shall use such information or
131 publications [which] that, in the assessor's judgment, will fairly estimate the true value in
132 money of the motor vehicle. For motor vehicles with a true value of less than fifty
133 thousand dollars as of January 1, 2025, the assessor shall not assess such motor vehicle
134 for an amount greater than such motor vehicle was assessed in the previous year,
135 provided that such motor vehicle was properly assessed in the previous year.
SS #2 SCS HB 199 83
136 10. Before the assessor may increase the assessed valuation of any parcel of subclass
137 (1) real property by more than fifteen percent since the last assessment, excluding increases
138 due to new construction or improvements, the assessor shall conduct a physical inspection of
139 such property.
140 11. If a physical inspection is required, pursuant to subsection 10 of this section, the
141 assessor shall notify the property owner of that fact in writing and shall provide the owner
142 clear written notice of the owner's rights relating to the physical inspection. If a physical
143 inspection is required, the property owner may request that an interior inspection be
144 performed during the physical inspection. The owner shall have no less than thirty days to
145 notify the assessor of a request for an interior physical inspection.
146 12. A physical inspection, as required by subsection 10 of this section, shall include,
147 but not be limited to, an on-site personal observation and review of all exterior portions of the
148 land and any buildings and improvements to which the inspector has or may reasonably and
149 lawfully gain external access, and shall include an observation and review of the interior of
150 any buildings or improvements on the property upon the timely request of the owner pursuant
151 to subsection 11 of this section. Mere observation of the property via a drive-by inspection or
152 the like shall not be considered sufficient to constitute a physical inspection as required by
153 this section.
154 13. A county or city collector may accept credit cards as proper form of payment of
155 outstanding property tax or license due. No county or city collector may charge surcharge for
156 payment by credit card which exceeds the fee or surcharge charged by the credit card bank,
157 processor, or issuer for its service. A county or city collector may accept payment by
158 electronic transfers of funds in payment of any tax or license and charge the person making
159 such payment a fee equal to the fee charged the county by the bank, processor, or issuer of
160 such electronic payment.
161 14. Any county or city not within a county in this state may, by an affirmative vote of
162 the governing body of such county, opt out of the provisions of this section and sections
163 137.073, 138.060, and 138.100 as enacted by house bill no. 1150 of the ninety-first general
164 assembly, second regular session and section 137.073 as modified by house committee
165 substitute for senate substitute for senate committee substitute for senate bill no. 960, ninety-
166 second general assembly, second regular session, for the next year of the general
167 reassessment, prior to January first of any year. No county or city not within a county
168 shall exercise this opt-out provision after implementing the provisions of this section and
169 sections 137.073, 138.060, and 138.100 as enacted by house bill no. 1150 of the ninety-first
170 general assembly, second regular session and section 137.073 as modified by house
171 committee substitute for senate substitute for senate committee substitute for senate bill no.
172 960, ninety-second general assembly, second regular session, in a year of general
SS #2 SCS HB 199 84
173 reassessment. For the purposes of applying the provisions of this subsection, a political
174 subdivision contained within two or more counties where at least one of such counties has
175 opted out and at least one of such counties has not opted out shall calculate a single tax rate as
176 in effect prior to the enactment of house bill no. 1150 of the ninety-first general assembly,

55 represented in the proposal. Any county that declines to convey a proposal to
56 the department, pursuant to the provisions of this subsection, shall receive its
57 per diem cost of incarceration for all prisoners chargeable to the state in
58 accordance with the provisions of subsections 1, 2, and 3 of this section.]
