Where the records are
The county offices an investor deals with in Greene County, and what each one puts online.
Deeds and mortgages
Greene County Recorder of Deeds. The Recorder's free Real Estate Search lets you look up recorded documents by document number, name, document type, book and page, or legal description after a human verification step.
Owners and values
Greene County Assessor. The Assessor's free Public Access site shows owner, address, taxing district, assessment history and maps, and ownership is updated nightly; a premium subscription is also offered.
Tax sales
Greene County Collector of Revenue. The delinquent land list, sale dates, surplus forms and post-third offer list are posted free on the Collector's Tax Sale page, and property details are on CivicSource.com from May.
Foreclosure sales
Private trustees (trustee's deeds recorded with the Greene County Recorder of Deeds). Deeds and trustee's deeds from completed foreclosures can be found in the Recorder's free Real Estate Search.
Parcel maps
Greene County Assessor Public Access map. The free map search shows parcels with layers for subdivision lots, school and fire districts and city limits, plus measuring and buffer tools.
How property is sold here
Greene County follows Missouri's rules, with its own calendar and offices. Read the Missouri guide for how the state works.
Tax sales
Missouri sells a tax lien at the first and second offerings, not the property outright: the winning bidder gets a Certificate of Purchase and can ask for a Collector's deed only after a one-year redemption period (90 days for third offer sales, none for post-third offer sales). Greene County holds its one annual tax sale on the fourth Monday in August at 10 AM in Room 212 of the Historic Courthouse, 940 N Boonville Ave, Springfield, for properties owing two or more years of taxes on May 1. The list is published in the Daily Events in late July and early August and posted on the Collector's website, bidders must be Missouri residents or registered businesses and register August 1 through the Thursday before the sale, and payment is due by cashier's check by 3:30 PM that day.
Foreclosure sales
Most Greene County home foreclosures are private trustee sales under a deed of trust rather than court-ordered sheriff sales, and the trustee's deed is then recorded with the Recorder of Deeds.
Assessed values
The Greene County Assessor reassesses real property in odd-numbered years, most recently in 2025, with values set as of January 1.
Transfer tax
Missouri has no real estate transfer tax, so there is no state, county or city tax on deeds in Springfield; buyers pay only Recorder of Deeds recording fees, which rise by $2 per document on August 28, 2026.
Worth knowing
Only Missouri residents or registered Missouri businesses with no delinquent taxes can bid at the Greene County tax sale.
Worth knowing
Surplus bid money from the tax sale can be released only to owners or lienholders, not to unrelated third parties.
Worth knowing
The Assessor's ownership data is refreshed nightly from deeds sent over by the Recorder of Deeds.
