Useful local offices
Start with the office that matches the record or notice. Property valuation, property-tax collection, recorded land documents, and court case records are different tasks; use the address and case or account number when you call.
Butler County · assessment and property records for tax purposes
Use the Assessor for ownership and assessment records, including the assessed value used for property-tax purposes. For an unpaid tax balance, contact the Collector; an assessment is not a title search or a sale price.
100 N Main Street, Room 206, Poplar Bluff, MO 63901 · 573-686-8084.
Butler County and listed municipal property-tax accounts
Use the Collector for property-tax searches, payments, balances, and questions about a tax notice. The county says it collects for Butler County and the separately listed cities of Poplar Bluff, Qulin, Fisk, and Neelyville. Confirm the taxing jurisdiction and account status for the actual property.
100 N Main Street, Room 105, Poplar Bluff, MO 63901 · 573-686-8088. Have the property address or tax notice ready.
Butler County · deeds, deeds of trust, and recorded real-estate instruments
Use the Recorder for a recorded deed, deed of trust, or other real-estate instrument. Those land records are different from an assessed-value record, a tax account, or a court case. For a court judgment, start with the court and case number on the papers.
100 N Main Street, Room 106, Poplar Bluff, MO 63901 · 573-686-8086.
Butler County · local probate-division contact route
For an estate-linked house, use this county court page to locate the Probate Division and its local contact route. A probate-office listing does not determine who may sign, which court has venue, or whether a particular sale needs court approval. For a civil judgment, use the court and case number on the case papers and ask the clerk for the right record route.
Probate Division: first floor, 100 N Main Street, Poplar Bluff, MO 63901 · 573-686-8073.
City of Poplar Bluff · planning, zoning, building permits, and inspections
For a property inside Poplar Bluff city limits, contact this department about planning, zoning, or a building-permit question. The city says a building-permit application is required before construction, alteration, repair, or demolition activity within the city. A mailing address alone does not confirm city jurisdiction.
501 Vine Street, Poplar Bluff, MO 63901 · 573-686-8615.
Missouri and city rules
Use the legal links and the contact details above to confirm the charge, permit, or record that applies to your property and documents.
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. Deeds still have county recording fees set by state law: $5 for the first page and $3 for each additional page, plus other per-document fees. Ask the Recorder or closing professional to confirm the current requirements and exact charges for your documents.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes remain separate from that promise.
If the property is inside Poplar Bluff city limits and you plan construction, alteration, repair, or demolition, the City says to apply for a building permit before the work begins. Contact Planning & Inspections with the address and project details. This permit information does not establish a sale-triggered inspection or clearance requirement for a particular house.

Use the Butler County Assessor for assessment and ownership records used for tax purposes. The Assessor is separate from the Collector, who handles property-tax accounts and payments.
Contact the Butler County Collector at 573-686-8088 or use the Collector’s official page above. The county says it collects for Butler County and the listed cities of Poplar Bluff, Qulin, Fisk, and Neelyville. Ask which taxing jurisdiction and balance apply to the actual property.
Use the Butler County Recorder of Deeds for recorded deeds, deeds of trust, and other real-estate instruments. A court judgment is a court record, not a deed; use the court and case number on the papers and ask the clerk for the right docket or judgment record. A title professional can help connect a record to the specific property.
The Butler County Circuit Courts page lists a Probate Division and its local contact route at 573-686-8073. Use the actual estate paperwork and ask the court or an attorney about the authority and steps for that estate; the county contact listing alone does not determine who may sign or which court has venue.
For a property inside Poplar Bluff city limits, contact City Planning & Inspections at 573-686-8615 before construction, alteration, repair, or demolition work. The address determines whether a city department applies; the city page does not establish a sale-triggered inspection requirement for a particular house.
No. Poplar Bluff and Butler County are separate local governments. Use the property address and the notice or record in front of you to confirm whether the city or a county office handles the question.
Missouri’s constitution bars new taxes on real-estate sales or transfers after December 2, 2010, but county deed-recording fees still apply. Ask the Recorder or closing professional for the exact document charges.
