Wright County Collector's Office

04/23/2026

Had a great time attending the 2026 Missouri County Collectors’ Association (MCCA) Conference!

It’s always valuable to step away from the office and connect with fellow collectors from across the state sharing ideas, learning about updates, and working together to better serve our communities. The knowledge and insight gained at this conference helps us continue improving the service we provide right here in our county.

PSA: New USPS Postmark Policy

USPS has updated its process so that postmarks may no longer reflect the day an item was mailed. This can directly impact time-sensitive documents such as tax payments.
Please plan ahead and mail early to ensure deadlines are met.
Payments can be made online at wright.mocollectors.com
