Jackson County officials plan to challenge the Missouri State Tax Commission's order for a 2023 property assessment rollback.

Jackson County officials plan to challenge the Missouri State Tax Commission's order requiring a rollback of 2023 property assessments, deeming it "unprecedented" and "unenforceable." The order mandates rolling back the value of residential properties that increased by more than 15% to the 15% increase level. County leaders argue that the order is politically motivated and inaccurate, and claim that property values in Jackson County have been undervalued for decades. They will explore all legal options to challenge the order, potentially involving filing suit by the county or another taxing district such as a school district.
