Collection Department to add extended weekend hours

Published on November 19, 2025

Jackson County will be providing extended weekend hours for tax collection at the historic courthouse in Independence, offering added convenience on select Saturdays in November and December.

The Historic Truman Courthouse, located at 112 W. Lexington in Independence, will be open from 8 a.m. – Noon on November 22 as well as December 13 & 20. Taxpayers can visit the Truman Courthouse during those times to make in-person tax payments, obtain a copy of their bill, make changes to their account or ask questions of the Assessment and Collection Departments. As a reminder, these functions can also be completed online.

Taxpayers can also make quick, easy and secure payments from home, at work, or while on the go:

1. Use the myJacksonCounty online portal and mobile app to pay by credit card, debit card or check.
2. Call (816) 608-7332 to pay by phone using a credit or debit card. Available in English and Spanish, simply have the property account number ready and follow the keypad instructions to access an account.

Taxpayers can also mail their payment to the address on their bill. Payments must be received or USPS postmarked by December 31 to avoid penalty.
