Phelps County Collector

Welcome to our webpage. Please choose an option below. START HERE will navigate you through our website and may answer questions you have about our office and your taxes. BILL PAY will take you directly to our Bill Pay site (hosted by a 3rd party, but it’s secure) where you can view your taxes and/or pay your taxes on-line (a small convenience fee will apply).

Welcome to the Phelps County Collector of Revenue page. I am Faith Ann Barnes, the Phelps County Collector. The Collector’s position is an elected office. It is elected every four years.

My philosophy is that I’m a servant to the public. I work for you. We all have to pay taxes, but I want your experience to be efficient and friendly! The best compliment I can receive is that you were pleasantly surprised by your experience.

The Assessor’s office assesses property (both real estate and personal property). The County Clerk uses their assessed values and the taxing district levies to calculate the tax bills. The Collector’s office then sends out the bills. We collect over twenty-five million dollars each year and distribute the collections to nearly 40 local taxing districts such as schools, cities, the library, etc. 

You must fill out an assessment list for personal property in January of each year; real estate is automatically assessed. If the form is not filled out by March 1, you may receive a late fee on your bill.

The Collector’s office sends real estate tax bills out in November. If you don’t receive your bill by Thanksgiving, you need to give us a call. You must pay your bill (or have it post marked) by December 31st in order to avoid late fees.  Please take the time to read the Start Here page to learn specific details about this process. It is my goal to exceed your expectations in the tax paying process.
