Local records and offices

Find the right county deed-record office

Kansas City, Missouri includes parts of Cass, Clay, Jackson, and Platte Counties. Start with the county for the actual parcel. Deeds, assessed values, unpaid tax balances, and court judgments are different records; a Recorder of Deeds search is not an assessment, tax-account, or court-case answer.

Missouri sale and recording costs

A sale-tax rule does not remove recording fees

Missouri's Constitution bars the state and local governments from imposing new taxes on a real-estate sale or transfer after December 2, 2010. Deed recording fees still apply: state law sets $5 for the first page and $3 for each additional page, plus per-document fees. Ask the title or closing professional to confirm the exact charges for your documents.

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. Get those separate amounts confirmed for the property before deciding.

Kansas City home seller resource questions

Which county recorder should I use for a Kansas City house?

Use the Recorder of Deeds for the county where the property is located. Kansas City, Missouri includes portions of Cass, Clay, Jackson, and Platte Counties, so check the parcel or property record before choosing one of the official county links above.

Does the Recorder of Deeds tell me the property value, unpaid tax balance, or court judgment?

Those are different records and questions. The offices linked above are county deed-record offices. Property assessments, county tax accounts, and court case records are separate paths; match the property address or case notice to the office responsible for that record. A deed record alone is not a title determination.

Does Missouri charge a tax when a house is sold?

Missouri Constitution article X, section 25 bars the state and local governments from imposing new taxes on a real-estate sale or transfer after December 2, 2010. Recording fees still apply. Missouri law sets a deed fee of $5 for the first page and $3 for each additional page, plus other per-document fees. Ask the title or closing professional to confirm the charges for your documents.

When you buy my house, do you pay my mortgage or back taxes?

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. Ask the lender, lienholder, county tax office, and closing professional for the property-specific amounts and treatment.
