Our Editorial Mission
mypropertyinfo.io exists to provide free, accurate, and actionable information to Missouri property owners facing difficult situations. We believe everyone deserves access to clear explanations of their rights and options—not just those who can afford attorneys.
Our content is created by licensed Missouri real estate professionals who have direct experience helping homeowners navigate foreclosure, tax sales, title issues, and other property challenges.
How We Create Content
1. Primary Source Research
We begin every article by reviewing the actual Missouri Revised Statutes (RSMo), court rules, and official county procedures. We don't rely on secondary summaries—we go directly to the law.
2. Expert Review
All content is reviewed by our team of licensed REALTORS® with specific experience in distressed properties, foreclosures, and title issues in St. Louis, Jefferson, and St. Charles Counties.
3. Local Verification
We verify county-specific information directly with county recorder offices, collector offices, and circuit courts to ensure accuracy for each jurisdiction we cover.
4. Plain Language Translation
Legal concepts are translated into clear, everyday language while maintaining accuracy. We explain what the law means for real people in real situations.

Corrections Log
In keeping with our corrections policy, substantive corrections to legal content are recorded here with the date and a description of what changed.
August 2026 — Foreclosure redemption language corrected
Removed blanket “no redemption period after a trustee sale” statements from our foreclosure, trustee-sale and county pages. Missouri provides a limited, conditional post-sale redemption mechanism (RSMo §§443.410 and 443.420) that applies mainly where the lender or someone acting for the lender is the purchaser and requires prescribed notice and posting security within the statutory window. Content now describes this accurately and routes fact-specific questions to a Missouri attorney.
August 2026 — Statute citation corrected in glossary
Our glossary previously cited RSMo §443.410 for the term “Deficiency Judgment.” That statute concerns post-sale redemption, not deficiency. The Deficiency Judgment entry now explains that a deficiency arises from the promissory note and that the time to sue is generally governed by the statute of limitations for written contracts (RSMo §516.110), and §443.410 is correctly associated with the Redemption Period entry.
August 2026 — Tax-sale jurisdiction distinctions clarified
Clarified that county collector tax sales (Chapter 140) differ materially from the City of St. Louis process, which proceeds through a delinquent land tax suit and Sheriff’s land tax sale. County-specific timelines and redemption windows are no longer applied across jurisdictions.
August 2026 — Beneficiary (TOD) deed framing corrected
Corrected content to reflect that a Missouri beneficiary deed transfers ownership at the owner’s death when it was executed and recorded before death (RSMo §461.025). Post-death filings document the transfer in the public record; they do not create or complete it.
Independent legal review
Our legal content is written from primary Missouri sources (RSMo, court rules and county procedures) and reviewed by licensed Missouri real-estate professionals. A formal review by a licensed Missouri attorney is being arranged; we will add a named “reviewed with counsel” designation on a page only once that review has genuinely occurred. Nothing on this site is legal advice.
What We Don't Do
These standards govern our Missouri property editorial content (foreclosure, tax sales, probate, title and related guidance):
We don't provide legal advice or represent ourselves as attorneys
We don't guarantee outcomes or make promises about specific situations
In our Missouri property content, we don't accept payment to influence what we recommend, and our guidance there is not pay-to-play
We don't use AI to generate legal information without human expert review
Our Missouri property editorial content stays within our direct expertise (Missouri property law)
Separate business: MyPropertyInfo Firestop
Our Firestop section is a separately operated, nationwide referral business — it is distinct from our Missouri real-estate services and from this editorial standard. In that program we introduce a property owner or manager to a single firestop contractor after a human review, and the contractor pays us a referral fee if an introduction is made. That is a paid referral arrangement, disclosed as such on the Firestop pages. A vendor paying a referral fee is never described as having been independently judged the “best,” and Firestop contractor inquiries are handled in a separate intake and are not commingled with our Missouri residential seller leads.
