Certificate of Non-Assessment

In order to obtain a current vehicle registration or renew license plates from the Missouri Department of Revenue, you must present a personal property tax receipt or certificate of non-assessment for the prior year to the license office.

A non-assessment is issued to a county resident when no personal property tax was assessed for the prior year. This certificate is used in lieu of a paid personal property tax receipt when registering a vehicle or renewing license plates. No fee is charged for a certificate of non-assessment.

Certificates of non-assessment may be issued in the following circumstances:

• You are new to Missouri;
• You are a former resident returning to Missouri and no unpaid personal property taxes are owed in Boone or any other Missouri County;
• This is the first vehicle you have owned; or
• You are exempt from personal property taxes (individuals or organizations who are determined tax exempt by the state), i.e., churches and most non-profit and charitable organizations.
