§ 251.624. Termination of incremental tax financing, when, procedure.
1. When all regional economic development project costs and all obligations issued to finance regional economic development project costs have been paid in full, the regional economic development district shall adopt a resolution terminating incremental tax financing for all regional economic development project areas. Immediately upon the adoption of such resolution, all payments in lieu of taxes, all economic activity taxes, and other net new revenues then remaining in the special allocation fund shall be deemed to be surplus funds; thereafter, the rates of the taxing districts shall be extended, and taxes shall be levied, collected, and distributed in the manner applicable in the absence of the adoption of incremental tax financing. Surplus payments in lieu of taxes shall be paid to the county collector who shall immediately thereafter pay such funds to the taxing districts in the regional economic development area selected in the same manner and proportion as the most recent distribution by the collector to the affected taxing districts of real property taxes from real property in the regional economic development area. Surplus economic activity taxes shall be paid to the taxing districts in the regional economic development area in proportion to the then current levy rates of such taxing districts that are attributable to such economic activity taxes. Any other funds remaining in the special allocation fund following the adoption of a resolution terminating incremental tax financing in accordance with this section shall be deposited to the general fund of the municipalities or counties that originally formed the regional economic development district in a pro rata amount determined by the regional economic development district board.
2. Upon the payment of all regional economic development project costs, retirement of obligations, and the distribution of any surplus funds under this section, the regional economic development district shall adopt a resolution dissolving the special allocation fund and terminating the designation of the regional economic development area as a regional economic development area.
3. Nothing in the regional economic development district law shall be construed as relieving property in such areas from paying a uniform rate of taxes, as required by Article X, Section 3 of the Missouri Constitution.
