Northern Missouri
Savannah is the county seat just north of St. Joseph
Andrew County's seat, Savannah, sits on the northern fringe of St. Joseph, so the county functions partly as a commuter and bedroom area for that larger city in Buchanan County.
Savannah is the seat of Andrew County and the place where the courthouse, and county offices like the assessor and collector, do their business. It sits just north of St. Joseph, which is in neighboring Buchanan County, so a meaningful share of Andrew County life ties back to that larger city for jobs, shopping, and services even though St. Joseph’s city government has no authority here. For a newcomer that is the key distinction: you may live your daily life oriented toward St. Joseph but pay taxes, vote, and handle county paperwork through Andrew County in Savannah. Confirm which incorporated cities, towns, and villages, plus school, fire, ambulance, and any road or water districts, apply at a given address through the Andrew County government portal and the Secretary of State references.
