Three Area Towns Miss June 30th Filing Deadline

Three area towns which were required to file annual financial reports with the Missouri State Auditor’s Office missed deadlines to do so by June 30th, the Auditor’s Office says. The Village of Blythedale in Harrison County and the Villages of Allendale and Denver in Worth County failed to meet the deadline.

Several other towns did meet the June 30th deadline. In Harrison County, the Village of Eagleville filed their report on June 8th. In Nodaway County, the City of Hopkins filed their report on January 25th. Parnell filed its report on April 9th, while Pickering filed its report on February 27th.

In Worth County, the City of Grant City filed its financial report on June 26th. The City of Sheridan filed its report on April 23rd, while the Village of Worth filed its report on February 15th.

Missouri law requires each city, town, or village to submit a copy of its annual financial report to the Missouri State Auditor’s Office. Should one fail to do so, the Auditor’s Office notifies the Missouri Department of Revenue. Out of 406 cities, towns, and villages in Missouri required to file financial reports by June 30th of this year, 258 did so, two submitted partially filed reports, and 146 did not file reports.

The Auditor’s Office also released a list of political subdivisions required to file reports with the office by June 30th. In the area, the North Harrison Ambulance District filed their report on March 7th. The North Harrison Fire Protection District did not file their report by June 30th.

In Nodaway County, the Hopkins Fire Protection District and Parnell Fire Protection District did not file their reports with the Auditor’s Office by June 30th. The Jackson Township Fire Protection District (February 9th), Public Water Supply District #1 (June 28th), and Union Township Fire Protection District (January 19th) did.

All three Worth County subdivisions listed in the report filed their reports by June 30th. Listed were the Worth County 911 Board (January 29th), the Worth County Ambulance District (January 22nd), and the Worth County Fire Protection District (March 14th).

Throughout the state, there were 1,005 political subdivisions  that were required to file financial reports by June 30th which had filed reports with the Auditor’s Office. There were 461 which had not.
