Pay Cooper County, Missouri Property Taxes Online using this service!
Yes. By state law, your tax obligation is established on January 1st. Even if you move to a different state on January 2nd, you are still taxable for the year. Unfortunately, the law has no provision for the proration of the taxes due.
The amount of tax you owe each year is based on the value of the vehicles you owned on January 1st of that year. The assessed value of your vehicles is established by the county Assessor using a standard rate book. The assessed value of your vehicles is printed on the upper right-hand portion of your statement. To determine what the Assessor believes to be the market (actual) value of your vehicles, multiply the assessed value by three. Assessed value x 3 = market value. If you believe that the Assessor has overvalued your vehicles, you may contact the Assessor's office.
