144.690. Final assessments may be filed in clerk's office, executions thereon — remedies cumulative. — 1. If any taxpayer refuses or neglects to pay any tax, interest or penalty imposed by this law when due and the assessment of which has become final, the director may file for record in the office of the clerk of the circuit court in any county in which the taxpayer owing the tax, interest or penalty resides, or has a place of business or in which he has property, or all of them, a certificate specifying the amount of the tax, interest and penalties due and the name of the taxpayer liable. The clerk of the circuit court shall file the certificate of record and enter it in the record of the circuit court for judgments and decrees under the procedure prescribed for filing transcripts of judgments. From the time of the filing of the certificate, the amount of the tax, interest and penalties specified therein shall have the force and effect of a judgment of the circuit court until satisfied by the director of revenue through his duly authorized agents. Execution shall issue at the request of the director of revenue or his agent as is provided in the case of other judgments. No exemption shall be allowed from the levy of an execution issued for the tax, interest and penalties and no indemnifying bond is required by the sheriff before making levy.

2. The foregoing remedy is cumulative and in addition to the methods given the director of revenue for the collection of the Missouri sales tax which are here made available to him in the collections of the tax, interest and penalties imposed by sections 144.600 to 144.745. No action taken shall be construed as an election on the part of the state or any of its officers to pursue any remedy or action hereunder to the exclusion of any other remedy or action for which provision is made.
