Paris puts Monroe County's main offices under one courthouse roof
Monroe County's assessor, collector, recorder, and commission work in separate rooms of the courthouse in Paris, while city business belongs at Paris City Hall.
Paris is the county seat of Monroe County, and several county offices share the courthouse at 300 North Main Street. The county directory puts the Collector in Room 101, the Recorder in Room 103, the Assessor in Room 107, and the County Commission in Room 203.
Those room numbers also show why “go to the courthouse” is not quite enough. Questions about property value or classification start with the Assessor. Tax bills and payments go to the Collector. Deeds and other land records go to the Recorder. County policy and commission business belong with the Commission.
Paris city services are separate. The city lists City Hall at 25804 Business Highway 24, away from the county courthouse. Open the county directory or city site first, choose the office that controls the task, and then check its current hours or online options.
