As a convenience to the taxpaying public, the City of Rolla recently contracted with the Phelps County Collector's office to bill and collect the City's real estate property taxes. As a result, Rolla taxpayers will no longer receive a separate real estate tax statement from the City of Rolla. Most City residents should have received one statement, per parcel, from the Phelps County Collector's office containing both the City and County real estate taxes in the last couple weeks. The primary reason for the change is that the taxpayer will now be able to pay all property taxes at one location or with one check and postage stamp to the Phelps County Collector's Office.

Any inquiries regarding your City of Rolla or Phelps County taxes can be directed to the Phelps County Collector's Office at 458-6155.

It depends on the type offense for which the ticket was issued. When the officer gives you the ticket, you should also receive a separate instruction sheet showing how you can take care of your ticket. Some offenses, such as stealing, minor in possession, traffic offenses involving accidents, and other types of cases, require a personal appearance in court. Other offenses, such as certain speeding violations, parking tickets, and some other offenses, do not require a personal appearance if you simply wish to plead guilty and pay the specified amount of the fine and costs. The instruction sheet that accompanies your ticket tells whether or not you must appear in court, and gives the standard amount of the fine and court costs for the offense if it is one that can be disposed of without a court appearance.
If, based on the directions on the the instruction sheet, you are allowed to plead guilty without a personal appearance, then you may dispose of your case by pleading guilty and paying the standard fine and court costs in advance of the court date shown on the ticket. If you decide to plead guilty in this manner, you may do so as follows:

1. Sign the back of the ticket in the space provided, and
2. Mail the signed ticket and a check or money order made payable to Rolla Municipal Court for the full amount of the fine plus court costs. Mail the ticket and payment to: Rolla Municipal Court, P.O. Box 979, Rolla, MO 65402.

If you have any questions that can be answered by the court clerk, please feel free to call the court clerk's office at 573-364-8590, or email the office at court@rollacity.org.
