Step 1.Getting started

You'll need at least one of the following documents or information to look up and pay your account:

• Property Tax Bill(s): Your property account number is in the upper left corner of your bill. This is the most direct method of searching our database to find your account.

• Property Account name(s): Taxpayer or Business Name. 

• Property Address(es): Street Number and Street Name.

If you have trouble locating your account(s) online, contact Customer Service at Collections@jacksongov.org or 816-881-3232.

Step 2.Decide your payment option 

• E-Check: The payment is made using the bank routing number and your bank account number (listed on the bottom of your check book). A $2.00 convenience fee per transaction plus $1.25 processing fee for eCheck will be added. Jackson County does not profit from these charges.
•  
• Credit / Debit Cards: The County accepts all major credit cards. Card payments require the 3 digit security code on the back of your card. There is a 2.75% fee charged by a third-party bank for a credit/debit card online payment. Jackson County doesn't receive this fee.

Step 3.Payment timeline

Online payments will be on time if made before the online payment website closes at 11:40 p.m. on December 31.
