Redemption Period
General Right to Redeem
In Missouri, you can ordinarily redeem your home within one year after the tax sale and up until the purchaser gets the deed to your home—if the home sells on the collector's first or second sale attempt. (Mo. Ann. Stat. § 140.340, § 140.250).
Redemption Period If the Home Doesn’t Sell at a First or Second Tax Sale
If the home doesn’t sell at a first or second sale, then the collector will attempt to sell it at a third tax sale. When a home sells at a third tax sale, you get 90 days to redeem the home. (Mo. Ann. Stat. § 140.250).
No Right to Redeem After a Subsequent Sale
If no one buys the property at the first, second, or third tax sale, but it does sell at a subsequent offering, you don’t get a redemption period. (Mo. Ann. Stat. § 140.250).
