Missouri's constitution bars the state, counties, and other local governments from imposing new taxes on the sale or transfer of real estate after December 2, 2010. State law sets deed recording charges at $5 for the first page and $3 for each additional page, plus per-document fees. The title company or closing professional confirms the exact recording charges.

A sale may still be possible if the loan can be paid off before the trustee's sale. When a home loan is secured by a deed of trust with a power of sale, the lender can foreclose through a trustee's sale without a court case. Missouri requires at least 20 days' notice, published in a newspaper and mailed by certified or registered mail to the owner of record.
If the lender or someone acting for it buys at the sale, the owner can redeem within one year. To keep that right, the owner must give written notice of intent to redeem at the sale or within ten days before it, then file a court-approved bond within 20 days after the sale. If a trustee's sale is scheduled, tell us the date right away so we can try to close before it.
