Missouri HB2000 modifies sewer district customer notice and lien enforcement procedures.
Missouri HB2000 repeals and replaces sections 249.255 and 249.645 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri, addressing the enforcement of unpaid sewer charges. The bill mandates that if a public sewer district places a lien on a customer's property for unpaid charges, this lien takes priority over all others except state and county taxes. It also allows the district to disconnect service or request other water suppliers to discontinue service if charges remain unpaid for over three months. The bill requires the district to notify customers by first-class mail before taking such actions.
