3 ZIP codes crossing the city line

Part of each of these lies outside Joplin. An address in one may be taxed at a neighbour's rate instead, and the figure shown is the most likely one across the whole ZIP code.

Who levies sales tax across Joplin's ZIP codes

Each government below levies its own share, but not all of them reach every address: the ZIP codes covering Joplin reach into more than one county and city, and an address pays only the shares whose boundary it falls inside.

No total is shown because more than one county and city is listed. An address falls inside only one of each, so these shares are alternatives rather than a stack, and adding them all up would give a figure nobody pays.

What can change the tax you pay in Joplin, MO

• ZIP codes shared with a neighbour. 3 of Joplin's 3 ZIP codes are also reached by Airport Drive, Carl Junction, Carterville and Duenweg and 11 other places, so an address in one of them can owe a neighbour's rate instead of Joplin's.
• Your exact address. Jasper County and Newton County cover only part of this area, so an address inside them is taxed differently from one just outside. A ZIP code is a postal delivery route and was never drawn to follow tax boundaries.
• What you are buying. Categories are not taxed alike. The calculator switches between general merchandise, prepared food and lodging, which are the categories we hold rates for here.
