The Warren County Collector’s Office, situated in Warrenton, MO, serves as the hub for tax collection activities in the county. Led by County Collector Julie Schaumberg, the office handles the collection, accounting, and distribution of over 51 million dollars annually in property taxes for various local government entities with voter-approved tax levies.
One of the key responsibilities of the collector is to utilize legal avenues for collecting delinquent taxes, including conducting the annual tax certificate sale held each August. Tax bills are typically dispatched in early November and must be settled upon receipt, with a final deadline of December 31st each year, determined by the postmark date on payments sent to the office.
Besides managing property tax payments, the Collector’s Office also facilitates payments from escrow accounts managed by mortgage holders on behalf of property owners. If taxpayers have not received their tax statement by Thanksgiving, prompt communication with the office is advised, as per Missouri State Statutes, non-receipt of a tax bill does not exempt individuals from their tax obligations and related penalties.
