Tax notices should be showing up in mailboxes early this month.

According to a news release from the Cass County Commission, a total of 91,184 tax statements are being mailed, reflecting a total of $87,907,302.62 that the county is required to collect.

Taxpayers that have not received a statement by Nov. 10 should call 816-380-8377.

To avoid penalties, taxes must be paid by Dec. 31. Failure to receive a statement does not relieve the obligation to pay taxes and applicable late charges.

Marine Col. Patrick J. McCarthy will speak at the city’s Veterans Day Tribute, which begins at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in the Presidential Hall at the Truman Memorial Building, 416 W. Maple Ave.

McCarthy is the commander of the Marine Corps Mobilization Command in Kansas City, which is providing a Color Guard for the event. Mayor Pro-Tem Jim Page and Deputy City Manager John Pinch also will speak.

The tribute will include a visit to the Veterans’ Hall and the Veterans’ Video Project in the lower level of the building. For more information, call 816-325-7843.
