Is there such a thing as a great DMV when you're there to pay the state and county fees and taxes…read morethat don't really ever make sense most of the time? So setting aside that most people would rather go see a dentist than go to the DMV let's just say this is one of the better ones. And it's all about the staff. I've lived in a bunch of states, so I've experienced a lot of mostly horribly run DMVs with angry, miserable, zombie workers. There is nothing fancy here, in fact, it's a rather plain office in a somewhat rundown area. But what makes it good is the great staff. Since I have to come in here every year, the 6-8 times I've been in have all been, well pleasant. The staff is patient, friendly, and fast. They up, look you in the face, smile, and treat you like a person. I guess that's all most of us want. Now could someone explain why MO requires you to pay property taxes on top of all the fees every year? Most states only charge a sales tax once and registration fees every year after that. No property taxes, its not a house!

Jasper County is named for Revolutionary War hero William Jasper. The city of Joplin is split…read moreacross Jasper and Newton counties because the city grew out of two separate mining settlements that developed on opposite sides of Joplin Creek in the early 1870s. When those settlements merged in 1873 to form Joplin, the new city naturally extended across the county line, and its boundaries have remained that way ever since. Jasper County's county seat and the main courthouse is in Carthage and it's worth a visit for classic old-school design. But as the county grew and as Joplin became a larger municipal presence in the county, it was felt that an annex closer to that population was needed. This courthouse in Joplin's city center is the annex, serving the Jasper County side and is a two-story steel, glass and concrete structure. It is modern and practical and utilitarian. The building's east wing features tall pillars supporting a broad flat roof, with blue-tinted glass that creates a sleek, civic presence. The west wing is defined by long, narrow windows and a clean roofline, emphasizing simplicity and openness. There is plenty of parking nearby. [Review 1489 of 2025 - 472 in Missouri - 25042 overall]

It's not as big or diverse as Joplin but it has a similar feel and Small Town Missouri has its charm - and Carthage exudes that. I've been here several times now and I'm sure I'll be here again before long.
