Start with the question in front of you

Rolla is the seat of Phelps County, but City and County offices handle different work. The County routes assessed values, tax collection, recorded land documents, and probate records; City of Rolla offices handle municipal permits and property-maintenance questions. A Rolla mailing address alone does not confirm city limits or a tax district.

Check the address with City Maps & GIS and the Phelps County FAQ and WebGIS directions before choosing a local contact. Those routes help you check the parcel; they do not determine a particular boundary, tax district, account, or deadline.

Missouri sale-cost rule

Separate a transfer tax from deed-recording fees

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. County deed-recording fees still apply: state law sets $5 for the first page of a deed 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 documents. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
