Letting Clay County know that your address has changed

Why should I fill out this form?
By Missouri law, taxpayers owe taxes based on the property they owned on January 1 of each year. That means, that even if you moved out of county or even out of state , you still owe taxes if you were a resident on January 1. Please understand that you have an obligation to let us know if (and when) your place of residence has changed, so that your assessment forms and tax bills can be sent to you. You are, by state law, responsible for payment of your taxes, including applicable penalties and interest, even if you do not receive a tax bill. Penalties and interest may, by Missouri law, only be waived for personnel on active military duty.

When should I fill out this form?
Anytime you move into Clay County, within Clay County, or out of Clay County, you need to let Clay County know. Please only fill out this form for personal property (non-real estate) tax purposes.

What else do I need to know?
If you move into Clay County from another county, you also need to fill out an Assessment List. You may obtain this form by clicking on the link or by contacting the Assessor's Office.

What if I have further questions?
Please read the Assessor FAQ (Frequently Answered Questions) and the Collector FAQ documents.
