The State of Missouri requires proof of paid personal property tax on all United States Coast Guard Documented Vessels located in the State.  Missouri Senate Bill 778 reads as follows:

When applying for or renewing a certificate of registration for a vessel documented with the United States Coast Guard under section  306.016, owners of vessels shall submit a paid personal property tax  receipt for the tax year which immediately precedes the year in which  the application is made or the renewal is due and which reflects that  the vessel is listed as personal property and that all personal property  taxes, including delinquent taxes from prior years, have been paid, or a statement certified by the county or township in which the owner's  property was assessed showing that the state and county tangible personal property taxes for such previous tax year and all delinquent  taxes due have been paid by the applicant or that no such taxes were due.
