Opinion

This slip opinion is subject to revision and may not reflect the final opinion adopted by the Court. Opinion Missouri Court of Appeals Western District Case Style: The Missouri Gaming Company, d/b/a, Argosy Riverside Casino, Appellant, v. Betty Gregoire, Assessor for Platte County, Missouri, Respondent. Case Number: 54171 Handdown Date: 03/24/1998 Appeal From: Circuit Court of Cole County, Hon. Byron L. Kinder Counsel for Appellant: Michael Newport Counsel for Respondent: Thomas Rynard Opinion Summary: None Citation: Opinion Author: PER CURIAM Opinion Vote: AFFIRMED. Hanna, P.J., Smart and Smith, J.J., concur. Opinion: ORDER The Missouri Gaming Company, d/b/a Argosy Riverside Casino (Argosy) has its place of business in Platte County. The Platte County assessor's office assessed Argosy's personal property, some of which Argosy believed was double assessed. Argosy appealed the assessor's decision to the Platte County Board of Equalization. The appeal was filed well past the time for appeal as set forth in Section 137.385, RSMo 1994. Argosy contends that it has a right of appeal pursuant to Section 138.100.2, RSMo 1994, and faults the assessor's office for its failure to file its appeal on time under Section 137.385, RSMo 1994, because the assessor's office sent it an incorrect notice. The matter was appealed to the State Tax Commission which held that Argosy was not double assessed and that Argosy had not filed its appeal timely. A memorandum explaining our decision has been furnished the parties. We affirm. Rule 84.16(b), V.A.M.R. Separate Opinion: None

Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern DistrictFebruary 3, 2026#ED113073

reversed

In this quiet title appeal, the court reversed the trial court's interpretation of an easement deed that the Daumes held over a private roadway. The court rejected the trial court's constructions that the easement's 'non-commercial purposes' limitation prohibited agricultural use and that it was restricted to the Daumes and their immediate family members.

Read opinion

The Missouri Supreme Court reversed the circuit court's judgment and held that a 2022 statute prohibiting homeowners' associations from banning solar panel installations applies to preexisting covenants, not just prospective ones. The homeowners' challenge to the HOA's restriction on solar panels visible from the street was successful, as the statute's prohibitions supersede prior restrictive covenants.
