Stude said she will submit the proposed agreement to Warren County Prosecuting Attorney Mike Wright for his review. Once that takes place, she will forward the agreement to city of Marthasville officials for their approval. It could be on the agenda for the board's next meeting on Tuesday, March 10. "I don't know if it can happen that fast, but I think it definitely will happen soon," said Stude. Marthasville currently uses a part-time tax collector who is responsible for sending separate city bills for real estate and personal property taxes to residents. Stude presently collects county real estate and personal property taxes from Marthasville residents. "Actually, it won't be much more work to do," she said. "We already have city residents on our tax lists, so it's really just a matter of adding a new line item for city taxes in addition to county taxes." Tax bills generally are mailed in November, Stude said. "I expect it will be a lot easier for city residents," she explained. "Now they get two separate bills for real estate and personal property taxes but beginning this year they will only get a single bill." Stude said once the transition becomes official, her office will send a notice to city residents informing them of the change. "I think it will make things much easier overall for Marthasville residents," said Presiding Commissioner Arden Engelage. Stude said her office has been collecting all city taxes for Warrenton, Wright City, Truesdale and Pendleton residents for several years. Stude also collects real estate taxes for residents of the Village of Innsbrook. Marthasville will pay a 1.5 percent fee to the collector's office.
