Useful offices
Joplin’s incorporated-place footprint crosses Jasper and Newton counties; it does not identify the county for every parcel. Check the property records for the actual county before calling. Property valuation, unpaid taxes, recorded deeds, and court judgments are different tasks.
Jasper County · real-estate assessment and valuation
Use the Assessor for assessed value and real-estate assessment questions. Assessment is not a delinquent-tax payoff, recorded deed, court judgment, or title opinion.
Real-estate location: 302 S. Main St., Room 201B, Carthage.
Jasper County · county-office contact directory
Use the county directory to find the right Jasper County office for a question not covered by the contacts below. For a Jasper County tax balance, ask the county to route you to the office responsible for that parcel.
The directory does not determine the venue or status of a specific property or case.
Jasper County · circuit-court contact and case routing
For a Jasper County court-file or judgment question, contact the Circuit Clerk and ask about the case record. The court directory lists Division 3 in Joplin; a directory is not a parcel-specific venue decision.
Joplin County Courts Building, 601 S. Pearl Ave., Joplin, MO 64801 · Circuit Clerk: 417-625-4310.
Jasper County · probate-court contact
For a probate-court contact, use the Probate Division listed for Carthage. Confirm the correct office and case routing with the county before relying on a filing or venue assumption.
Carthage courthouse, 302 S. Main St., Carthage, MO 64836 · Probate Division: 417-625-4370.
Jasper County · recorded deeds and land records
Use the Recorder for recorded deeds and county land-record routing. A recorded document is not a title opinion or a delinquent-tax balance.
Carthage office · 417-358-0431.
Newton County · assessment and valuation
Use the Assessor for Newton County property assessment and valuation questions. This is separate from property-tax collection, recorded deeds, and court records.
101 S. Wood St., Suite 205, Neosho, MO 64850 · 417-451-8228.
Newton County · property-tax balances and tax-sale contact
For a Newton County parcel, contact the Collector about property-tax balances and tax-sale questions. The Collector is not the Assessor or Recorder.
Newton County office · 417-451-8217.
Newton County · recorded deeds and permanent land records
Use the Recorder for recorded ownership and transfer documents. Those records are different from an assessed value, unpaid-tax balance, or court judgment.
Recorder: 417-451-8224 · mailing address: P.O. Box 604, Neosho, MO 64804.
Newton County · court and circuit-clerk contact
For a Newton County court-file or judgment question, contact the Circuit Clerk and ask about the case record. A court record does not by itself answer how a judgment affects a particular property; ask a title professional about that property-specific question.
123 E. Main St., Neosho, MO 64850 · 417-451-8210.
Missouri closing charges
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. That does not remove deed-recording charges: state law sets $5 for the first deed page and $3 for each additional page, plus per-document fees. Ask the title company or closing professional to confirm the exact recording charges for your sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.

Joplin’s incorporated-place footprint includes parts of Jasper County and Newton County, but that does not establish the county for a particular parcel. Verify the parcel’s county from its property records; a Joplin mailing address alone is not enough. Then use the office listed for that county.
The Assessor handles assessment and valuation: use Jasper County’s Assessor for a Jasper parcel or Newton County’s Assessor for a Newton parcel. The Newton County Collector handles Newton County property-tax balances and tax-sale questions. For a Jasper tax balance, use Jasper County’s official Contacts directory to ask which office handles that parcel; do not treat an assessment as a tax payoff.
Use the Recorder of Deeds in the parcel’s county for recorded land documents. For a court case or judgment-file question, contact that county’s Circuit Clerk or court. A deed record, tax balance, and court record are different tasks; ask a title professional how records affect a specific property.
Jasper County lists its Probate Division at the Carthage courthouse, 302 S. Main St., Carthage, MO 64836, at 417-625-4370. Contact the court about routing for the actual estate and case; the office listing does not decide venue for a specific matter.
Missouri’s constitution bars the state and local governments from imposing new taxes on the sale or transfer of real estate after December 2, 2010. Deed recording fees still apply: $5 for the first page and $3 for each additional page, plus per-document fees added by state law. Ask the title company or closing professional to confirm the exact charges. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs; that does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.
