04/04/2025 - JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.
Missouri State
Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick recently issued monthly reports detailing the
compliance of municipalities and other political subdivisions with financial
reporting laws.
One report
includes cities, towns, and villages while the other lists political
subdivisions such as water, fire protection, and other taxing districts. Per
state regulation, these entities are required to file annual financial reports
with the State Auditor's Office within six months of the end of their fiscal
year.
A total of 10
municipalities (6 cities, 1 town and 3 villages) and 20 taxing districts were
required to file by February 28 because their fiscal year ended on August 31. Of
those entities, 20 filed financial reports timely. A total of 4 municipalities
and 6 taxing districts failed to file financial reports on time.
These reports
also include information on 22 municipalities (14 cities, 1 town, and 7 villages) and 17 taxing
districts that submitted late financial reports or other related documents to
the State Auditor's Office.
Reports received are searchable
online. The complete report of municipalities is here and
the full report of other political subdivisions is here.
