Beginning on Monday, 15 April 2024, the new hours of operation for the Phelps County Assessor's Office will be

8:00 am - 4:30 pm

We are changing our hours to stay aligned with the operating hours of other offices in the Courthouse.

Use the RED "e-File Personal Property" button in the menu to the left to file your assessment online. YOU DO NOT NEED A USERNAME OR PASSWORD TO EFILE. The assessment form or postcard you received from our office will have the account number and PIN information required to e-File. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.

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 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.
