Important News

--- 06/30/2023 ---

In accordance with the laws of the State of Missouri, I have completed the assessment of all real property in Phelps County. If the assessed value of your property has changed, you should have received a “Notice of Change in Assessed Value” letter from our office. If you do not agree with the assessment of your property, please immediately contact my office to discuss any concerns you may have (informal appeal hearing). If you should need more than a telephone conversation, appointments for in-person informal appeal hearings are available These appointments must be made by June 30, 2023. Informal appeal hearings will be conducted June 20, 2023 through July 7, 2023. Please provide relevant documentation (a current appraisal, etc.) concerning value so that a productive informal hearing can be assured. After the informal appeal process is completed, pursuant to RsMo.137.275, every person who thinks themselves aggrieved by the assessment of their property may appeal to the county board of equalization, in person, by attorney or agent, or in writing. Such appeals shall be lodged with the county Board of Equalization through the Phelps County Clerk's Office in the Phelps County Courthouse at 200 North Main Street, Suite 102, Rolla, Missouri 65401. Appointments for the county board of equalization should be made in advance.

2023 Change Notices

Per Missouri statute, the Assessor’s Office will drop approximately 900 Change Notices (also known as Raise in Assessment Notices) in the mail today. This number represents about 4 percent of the parcels located in Phelps County. Most of these parcels experienced an increase of assessed valuation due to either an improvement to an existing structure or the addition of new structures to the property. Upon examining your change notice, if you do not agree with the property value listed on the notice, contact my office to schedule an Informal Appeal. An Informal Appeal is simply a time that we can discuss the valuation of your property. Be sure to bring any evidence you may have to support your opinion of value. Please note however, that we will not be able to discuss the actual tax amount of the property; the 2023 tax levies are not yet set and the Assessor is only responsible for valuation of the property, not tax amounts.

2023 Reassessment

In conjunction with this year’s reassessment, the Missouri State Tax Commission (STC) has recommended a county-wide increase to help insure that our assessed valuation keeps pace with the recent sales trends in the real estate market. Due to the nature of the economy, among other reasons, I have decided to not accept the STC’s recommendation. Reassessment has occurred per state statute, but the only value increases in Phelps County for 2023 will be due to new construction (improvements to the property) or changes in the use of property (from residential to commercial, etc). We will begin mailing change notices the week of June 12. If you receive a change notice and have any questions concerning it, please feel free to contact my office.
