The Administration windows have been decorated for The Wall that Heals. Thank you Meghan Robbin’s for your hardwork and artistic abilities bringing this to life. The rain has since dampened them but still much appreciated. The Wall that Heals comes to town next week❤️🤍💙

Last friendly reminders:

Monday April 27th is the LAST day to sign up for Senior Tax Credit for those 62 and older.

Assessment sheet grace period ends April 30th. After that late fees apply. They've sent out two notices. Call their office if you've never received one to verify mailing address and to get one filled out at 660-679-3157. Remember my office has a drop box on the East side of building or get them in the mail!!

Lastly we understand times are hard, but we have sent out friendly reminders of those with 3 years or older Real Estate taxes. One year MUST be paid BY June 30th. After that all years plus advertising must be paid to stop it from Tax Sale, which is August 24th at 10 a.m.

Any questions call our office at 660-679-3341.

Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable weekend!!

This week I attended the MCCA yearly training in Columbia. Lots of great speakers, knowledge shared between Collectors, and lots of legislation talk. Very thankful for our organization and fellow Collectors. A few things we talked/learned about were SB 190, SB 3, MO Dept of Revenue, Tax Sale, Bankruptcy, lots of software vendors to visit to help make our jobs flow efficiently with their products, and wonderful meals shared with learning conversations had. Thankful for the training and the opportunity to serve Bates County.
