Any county in this state, by vote of the constitutionally
required percentage of the voters voting thereon, may become indebted in
an amount exceeding in any year the income and revenue provided for such
year plus any unencumbered balances from previous years. Such
indebtedness shall not exceed five percent of the value of taxable
tangible property therein as shown by the last completed assessment for
state and county purposes. (L. 1945 p. 597 § 3292, A.L. 1978 H.B. 971,
A.L. 1990 H.B. 1621)



Any county in this state, by vote of the constitutionally
required percentage of the voters voting thereon in favor of the
question, may incur an indebtedness for county purposes in addition to
that authorized in section 108.010 not to exceed five percent of the
taxable tangible property shown as provided in that section. (L. 1945 p.
597 § 3293, A.L. 1978 H.B. 971, A.L. 1990 H.B. 1621)



Before incurring any indebtedness under the provisions of
sections 108.010 and 108.020 the county shall provide for the collection
of an annual tax on all taxable tangible property therein sufficient to
pay the interest and principal of the indebtedness as they fall due, and
to retire the same within twenty years from the date contracted. (L. 1945
p. 597 § 3294)

CROSS REFERENCE: Annual tax to pay and retire obligation within twenty
years, Const. Art. VI § 26(f)



Whenever it may become necessary for any county in this state to
incur an indebtedness as authorized in section 108.010 or 108.020, it
shall be lawful for any number of voters of such county, but not less
than one percent or three hundred, whichever is greater, as determined by
the vote for governor in the county in last election at which a governor
was elected, to present to the county commission of such county a
petition in writing setting forth the object and purpose for which the
indebtedness is desired to be incurred and asking that the question be
submitted to the voters. Upon the presentation of such petition it shall
be the duty of the county commission of such county to order that the
question be submitted to the voters. (RSMo 1939 § 3292, A.L. 1945 p. 597

If it appears from the results of the examination and casting up
of the returns of the election as certified to the county commission that
the constitutionally required percentage of the voters of such county
voting on the question submitted were in favor of incurring such
indebtedness, the commission shall make an order reciting the submission
of the question and the result thereof, both for and against the
question. If the result of the submission of the question as certified
shall be in favor of the issuing of bonds, the bonds shall be sold at
such time and in such amounts as the commission may from time to time
order and direct. The county commission shall provide for the collection
of an annual tax sufficient to pay the interest on such indebtedness as
it falls due, and also to create a sinking fund for the payment of the
principal thereof within twenty years from the date of contracting the
same. (RSMo 1939 § 3296, A.L. 1945 p. 597 § 3298, A.L. 1978 H.B. 971,

and repair of any and all public roads, highways, bridges and culverts
within such county, including the payment of any cost, judgment and

shall be paid into the county treasury where they shall be kept as a
separate fund to be known as "The Road Bond Construction Fund" and such
proceeds shall be used only for the purpose mentioned herein. Such funds

authorized to fund any judgment indebtedness of such county or
municipality and to issue bonds therefor as provided by the general law
governing the issuance of bonds by counties and municipalities,
respectively. The issuance of such funding bonds under this section shall
be deemed and held by all courts in this state, to all intents and
purposes, the incurring of a new indebtedness; and thereafter no question
shall ever be raised in any court as to the validity of such
indebtedness, except questions of constitutional limitation of
indebtedness. Such funding bonds shall not be exchanged or delivered in
payment of such judgment indebtedness nor any part thereof. The
provisions of this section shall not be deemed to be repugnant to nor
inconsistent with section 108.140; but the power and authority hereby
conferred shall be deemed to be cumulative thereof. (RSMo 1939 § 3308,

1. The various counties in this state for themselves, as well as
for and on behalf of any township, or other political subdivision for
which the counties may have issued any general obligation bonds, and the
several cities, school districts or other political corporations or
subdivisions of the state, are hereby authorized to refund, extend, and
unify the whole or part of their valid general obligation bonded
indebtedness, or judgment indebtedness, and for such purpose may issue,
negotiate, sell and deliver refunding general obligation bonds and with
the proceeds therefrom pay off, redeem and cancel the bonds to be
refunded in advance of their maturity or redemption or as the same mature
or are called for redemption, or pay and cancel such judgment
indebtedness, or such refunding general obligation bonds may be issued
and delivered in exchange for and upon surrender and cancellation of the
bonds refunded thereby, or such judgment indebtedness. School districts
may pay costs and expenses related to issuing such refunding general
obligation bonds from proceeds from the sale of such bonds. In no case
shall the refunding general obligation bonds exceed the amount of the
principal of the outstanding bond or judgment indebtedness to be refunded
and the interest accrued thereon to the date of such refunding bonds. No
refunding bond issued as provided in this subsection shall be payable in
more than twenty years from the date thereof and such refunding bonds
shall bear interest not to exceed the same rate as the bonds refunded, or
judgment indebtedness; provided, that nothing in this section shall be so
construed as to prohibit any county, city, school district, or other
political corporation or subdivision of the state from refunding its
general obligation bonded indebtedness without the submission of the
question to a popular vote.

2. The various counties in this state for themselves, as well as for and
on behalf of any township, or other political subdivision for which the
counties may have issued any revenue bonds, notes or other obligations,
and the several cities, school districts or other political corporations
or subdivisions of the state, are hereby authorized to refund, extend,
and unify the whole or part of their valid outstanding revenue bonds,
notes or other obligations, and for such purpose may issue, negotiate,
sell and deliver refunding revenue bonds, notes or other obligations and
with the proceeds therefrom pay off, redeem and cancel the obligations to
be refunded in advance of their maturity or redemption or as the same
mature or are called for redemption, or such refunding revenue bonds,
notes or other obligations may be issued and delivered in exchange for
and upon surrender and cancellation of the obligations refunded thereby.
In no case shall the refunding revenue bonds, notes or other obligations
exceed the amount determined by the governing body of the issuing
political corporation or subdivision to be necessary to pay or provide
for the payment of the principal of the outstanding obligations to be
refunded, together with the interest accrued thereon to the date of such
refunding obligations and the interest to accrue thereon to the date of
maturity or redemption of such obligations to be refunded and any premium
which may be due under the terms of such obligations to be refunded and
any amounts necessary for the payment of costs and expenses related to
issuing such refunding obligations and to fund a debt service reserve
fund for the obligations. All such refunding revenue bonds, notes or
other obligations shall bear interest at such rates as the governing body
of the issuing political subdivision shall provide, which rates of
interest may exceed the rates of interest on the obligations being
refunded but shall not exceed the maximum legal rate established by
section 108.170. The refunding revenue bonds, notes or other obligations
may be payable from the same sources as were pledged to the payment of
the obligations refunded and, in the discretion of the governing body of
the issuing political subdivision, may be payable from any other source
which may be pledged to the payment of revenue bonds, notes or other
obligations under any provision of law relating to the issuance of the
obligations refunded. Nothing in this section shall be so construed as to
prohibit any county, city, school district, or other political
corporation or subdivision of the state from refunding its revenue bonded
indebtedness without the submission of the question to a popular vote.

other evidence of indebtedness, discounted to the date of issuance,
equals the original price at which such bonds, notes or other evidence of
indebtedness are sold by the issuer. Interest on bonds, notes or other
evidence of indebtedness may be paid periodically at such times as shall
be determined by the governing body of the issuer and may be compounded

may be impressed thereon or affixed thereto or imprinted or otherwise
reproduced thereon, and if such bond, note or other evidence of
indebtedness shall be authenticated by a bank or trust company having its
principal office in the state of Missouri by the manual signature of a
duly authorized officer or employee thereof, the duly authorized officers
of such issuer executing and attesting such bond, note or other evidence
of indebtedness may all do so by facsimile signature provided such
signatures have been duly filed as provided in the uniform facsimile
signature of public officials law, and only a bank or trust company
having its principal office in the state of Missouri, when duly
authorized by ordinance or resolution of such issuer, may act for and on

to the state auditor, who, other provisions of law notwithstanding, shall
certify by manual or facsimile endorsement of such bonds that all
conditions of the laws have been complied with in its issue, if that be
the case, and also that the conditions of the contract, under which they

of that fact shall be filed and preserved by the auditor. The state
auditor may endorse bearer bonds with the auditor's facsimile signature
in lieu of manual signature after filing the auditor's manual signature,
certified by the auditor under oath, with the secretary of state; and

action, suit or proceeding in which their validity is, or may be, brought
into question, prima facie, valid and binding obligations, and in every
action brought to enforce collection of such bonds, the certificate of
such auditor, or a duly certified copy thereof, shall be admitted and
received in evidence of the validity of such bonds, together with the
coupons thereto attached if any; provided, the only defense which can be
offered against the validity of such bonds shall be for forgery or fraud.
But this section shall not be construed to give validity to any such
bonds as may be issued in excess of the limit fixed by the constitution,
or contrary to its provisions, but all such bonds shall, to the extent of
such excess, be held void; and provided further, that the remedy of
injunction shall also lie at the instance of any taxpayer of the
respective county, city, town, village, township or school district or
special road district or fire protection district or drainage district or
levy district to prevent the registration of any bonds, alleged to be

by which to utilize the unused or uncommitted portion of the state
ceiling. (L. 1987 S.B. 351 § 108.525)

108.925 to 108.933. The board may reserve the right to reject any and all
bids. All expenses incurred by the board of fund commissioners in issuing
the bonds, or any part thereof, and attending the placing of the bonds on
