Commission to review tax refunds and library board appointments On Tuesday
The Laclede County Commission will meet at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, June 24, in the Commission Meeting Room at the courthouse to consider two key items.
First, commissioners will weigh a request under RSMo 139.031.5 allowing taxpayers who mistakenly paid real or personal property taxes to apply for a refund or have the amount credited against future bills within three years of payment. Staff will notify the collector’s office of any claims, verify the amounts in question and ensure applications are filed before the deadline. No interest can be paid on these overpayments (revisor.mo.gov).
Second, the commission will appoint new members to the Library Board. Regular meetings are held every Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. in the Commission Meeting Room at the Laclede County Courthouse and open to the public.
Lebanon Now has been asked to deliver an important message:
A New Name. The Same Commitment.
We’ve made a small change—our Lebanon location is now proudly called Noble Drug of Lebanon.
This update reflects something bigger: growth. By expanding our compounding services to Camdenton, we’ve made room to serve you more efficiently—at both locations.
Here in Lebanon, your pharmacy team hasn’t changed. Your care hasn’t changed. What’s changed is our ability to focus even more on what matters most: you.
We’re proud of where we’re headed. And we’re grateful to have you with us.
We feel very fortunate, more than we deserve.
—Your team at Noble Drug of Lebanon
