County offices
Jefferson City includes property in both Cole and Callaway counties. Check the parcel county first. An assessed value, a property-tax balance, a recorded deed, and a court judgment are different records; a Recorder of Deeds is not a tax office or a court docket.
Cole County · assessment and property valuation records
Use the Assessor for assessed-value and assessment-record questions about a Cole County parcel. An assessment is not the unpaid-tax balance, a deed, or a court judgment.
Cole County Assessor ↗Cole County · property-tax account questions
Start here for a Cole County property-tax inquiry. Use the parcel or account details from the current tax bill and confirm any amount due with the county.
Cole County property-tax inquiry ↗Cole County · recorded deeds and land documents
Use the Recorder for recorded deeds and land documents for a Cole County property. This is separate from property assessment, tax balances, and court case records.
Cole County Recorder of Deeds ↗Callaway County · recorded deeds and land documents
Use the Recorder for recorded deeds and land documents for a Callaway County property. Check the parcel county before using a county record search.
Callaway County Recorder of Deeds ↗For a court judgment, use the court named on the judgment or notice. If you are unsure what a record means for a sale, ask the title or closing professional to review the property-specific record.
Missouri sale costs
Missouri's Constitution bars the state, counties, and other local governments from imposing new taxes on the sale or transfer of real estate after December 2, 2010. Deed recording still has charges set by state law: $5 for the first page and $3 for each additional page, plus statutory per-document fees. Ask the title or closing professional to confirm the exact recording charges for your deed and transaction.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not include mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes; those are separate property-specific items to review with the closing professional.

Use the Cole County Assessor for assessed-value and assessment-record questions. The Assessor is not the office for an unpaid tax balance, a recorded deed, or a court judgment.
For a Cole County parcel, start with the Cole County property-tax inquiry and confirm any balance with the county using the parcel or account details on the tax bill. For a Callaway County parcel, use the current county tax bill or the county contact information printed on it. Property-tax records are separate from assessment valuation and deed records.
The Recorder of Deeds handles recorded deed and land documents for the county where the property is located. A court judgment is a court record, not an assessment or deed record; use the court named on the judgment or notice, then ask the title or closing professional how it relates to the property.
Jefferson City spans Cole and Callaway counties, and county offices serve property in their own county. Check the parcel location before using an Assessor, tax, or Recorder link; the city name alone does not identify the county record.
Missouri law sets deed-recording charges by page and adds statutory per-document fees. Ask the title or closing professional to confirm the exact recording charges for the deed and transaction. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs; mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate.
