While we are still working out some details we wanted to share some new things available to the public with our new system! We have a website www.batescountyassessor.com
From this site you can currently access our GIS map and if you choose subscribe to receive more data about each parcel on the map. Also soon you will be able to complete your annual assessments! We thank you for your patience and understanding while we continue learn the new system and find better ways to help our citizens.

The Assessor's office is responsible for the valuation of all tangible real and personal property within Bates County. Our office strives to assess all property fairly, equally and in a uniform manner under the laws and regulations of the State of Missouri. We are always here to help answer any ques...

We have an update! We have access to our systems but can ONLY look at information, print assessment sheets to be filled out, and the collectors office can print bills or receipts. We CANNOT enter assessments to generate bills, issue waivers, make changes, and the collectors office CAN NOT accept payments. It is anticipated that Wednesday, July 29, 2026 we should be up and functioning at full capacity. Please keep in mind when that time comes, we are using a new system so expect delays. We wont be as fast as we generally are and appreciate your kindness and understanding during this transition.

Unfortunately due to no fault of our own or the new company we are still without a fully functioning system. We apologize for any inconvenience. For those needing to pay a bill or be assessed we hope to be operational Monday but please check back here for updates.

We're back on track for the system upgrade. Our office and the Treasurer/Collector's office will be CLOSED July 20, 21, and 22.

Due to our current software provider being unavailable we will now be OPEN the remainder of this week. Please plan ahead as we currently do not have a new estimated shutdown period and could have no advanced warning of a new shutdown period.
