Local records and offices
Start with the office that matches the task. Call to confirm the right route for your property or filing before visiting; an office location does not establish that a particular parcel, tax account, estate, or filing belongs there.

A Missouri sale-cost rule
Missouri’s constitution bars the state, counties, and other local governments from imposing new taxes on a real-estate sale or transfer after December 2, 2010. Separately, state law lists a $5 fee for the first page of a deed and $3 for each additional page, plus other statutory per-document fees. Ask the title company or closing professional to confirm the recording charges for your documents.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
