287.28 Refunds or redemption.

(a) The county treasurer may refund in whole or in part any tax which has been erroneously paid and may allow for or redeem such of the stamps, issued under the authority of sections 287.20 to 287.31 as may have been spoiled, destroyed, or rendered useless or unfit for the purpose intended or for which the owner may have no use or which through mistake may have been improperly or unnecessarily used. Such order shall be made only upon written application of the taxpayer.

(b) A person having paid a deed tax amount may seek a refund of the tax, or other appropriate relief, by commencing an action in tax court in the county where the tax was paid, within 60 days of the payment. The action is commenced by serving a petition for relief on the county treasurer, and filing a copy with the court. The county attorney shall defend the action. The county treasurer shall notify the treasurer of each county that has, or would receive a portion of the tax as paid. Any refund of deed tax which the county treasurer determines should be made, and any court ordered refund of deed tax, shall be accomplished using the refund procedures in section 287.08.
