10/24/2025 - 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 8
municipalities (4 cities and 4 villages) and 12 taxing districts were required
to file by August 31 because their fiscal year ended on February 28. Of those entities,
17 filed financial reports timely. A total of 2 municipalities and 1 taxing
district failed to file financial reports on time.
These reports
also include information on 51 municipalities (40 cities and 11 villages) and 129 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.
