The county or political subdivision must provide the department a copy of the official written notification of the amendment from the United States Census Bureau; and
# (C)
If the adjustment redistributes total population within the county, the notification must include any population change for unincorporated St. Louis County.
# (3)
Upon receipt of proper written notification, the department will adjust population figures for future distributions, but will not change any distribution made before notification was received by the department.
# (4)
For adjustments to the St. Louis County population count as a result of annexations or consolidations—
# (A)
Each political subdivision must file with the department a certified copy of the annexation or consolidation election results or a certified copy of the ordinance approving the annexation or consolidation;

If the department receives notification before the fifteenth day of the month, the tax will be distributed using the new information beginning with the next distribution.
