A Q&A guide to foreign investment in real estate in Missouri.
Out of State Domestic Company

Investor
Out of state US companies are not required to obtain state
permission before acquiring. However, business entities from
other states should consult the following to determine whether
they should register as a foreign entity before doing business in
Missouri:

Limited liability companies (Mo. Rev. Stat. ch. 347 (2010)).
Corporations (Mo. Rev Stat. ch. 351 (2010)).
Non-profit corporations (Mo. Rev. Stat. ch. 355 (2010)).
Partnerships (Mo. Rev. Stat. ch. 358 (2010)).
Limited partnerships (Mo. Rev. Stat. ch. 359 (2010)).
There are no restrictions on foreign US companies purchasing
real estate or interests in entities which own real estate.

There are no reporting requirements applicable only to out of
state US companies owning real estate in Missouri for acquisition,
ownership or disposition. I was once asked about this possibility
in northern Cali – so here is the answer: Santa Cruz County Market update page

There are no transfer taxes or similar taxes payable on the sale of
property. Ad valorem real estate taxes are customarily prorated as
of the day of closing between seller and purchaser.

There are no specific Missouri taxes levied on out of state property
owners buying, maintaining or selling real estate or an interest in
an entity owning real estate.
