From the Bates County Collector/Treasurer office

To clear some confusions up:
Everyone pays school taxes and yes its majority of your taxes.
If your assessed value goes up then so does your taxes, which means all indentities get more taxes
City stickers have ALWAYS been included in your CITY taxes, but our new program allows us to break it down. I do not as the Collector get to ADD any sort of taxes. I have laws and statues to abide by. This statement has came to my attention and wanted to address it.
Personal Property can change due to change of vehicles and levies
Personal Property is based on Jan 1st. If you get rid of a vehicle or purchase anything you will fix that on the next years assessment sheet. Those are mailed out after Jan 1st by the Assessor's Office.
Senior Tax Credit renewals have not been determined at this time. It won't be until at least after the first of the year. Once that decision is made we will make sure to notify.
If you have road issues please contact your TOWNSHIP we have NO authority over them.
Our office doesn't mind answering questions please call us at 660-679-3341. This is just hopefully to understand your statement a little better with as much new information it has on it.
