Why the rate here is not the whole story

Missouri charges 4.225 percent statewide and then stacks a county rate, city rates and special district rates whose boundaries do not follow county lines, so a single rate for the whole county does not exist. The county itself levies 1.625 percent countywide. The floor of 5.85 percent is state plus county in unincorporated areas with no city and no district. The ceiling of 11.1 percent is at Belton, on top of Belton-Cass Regional TDD and TXRH CID. That ceiling comes from a community improvement district and a transportation development district, which in Missouri can cover a single shopping center or one development rather than a whole city, so most addresses pay less. Missouri's address level rate map is required by RSMo 32.310 and is operated for the Department of Revenue on a vendor domain, which is the map dor.mo.gov itself links.

How do I find the exact rate for an address in Cass County?

Use Missouri's own address lookup, which the state designates and an outside provider runs for it. In Cass County the rate depends on the address, anywhere from 5.85% to 11.1%.

Who has to collect sales tax in Cass County?

Any seller with a physical presence in Missouri collects at the rate for the address of the sale; a remote seller does once it passes Missouri's economic nexus threshold. Missouri sales tax covers the statewide rules and what is exempt.
