Jackson County Preps Senior Residents For 30% Property Tax Spike

This news is more important that so much political posturing today.

Make no mistake . . . 

CONTINUED PROPERTY TAX HIKES WILL PUT MORE PEOPLE OUT THEIR HOMES IN JACKSON COUNTY AND NEITHER THE COURTHOUSE NOR THE LEGISLATURE ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE TOPIC!!!

In fact . . . The conversation therapy distraction was useful to take time away from discussion of slipshod assessment standards. 

And so . . .

Local seniors are confronted with rampant local inflation . . . An Exec who has checked out of the process and courthouse appointees directing complaints toward Jeff City.

The only hope on the horizon seems to be an effort to shake up courthouse government from the state level. 

Here's the damage . . .

With the average Jackson County residential property expected to increase 30% in 2023, many are worried. To help Jackson County residents understand the assessment process, the Assessor's Office is holding three public meetings where people can not only learn more about how their property's are evaluated, but have their questions answered.

The other two meetings will happen in Kansas City and Blue Springs.

The Kansas City meeting is Monday, March 27 at the Morningstar Youth and Family Life Center at 2525 E 27th St from 5:30-7p.m.

The Blue Springs one will be Wednesday, March 29 at the Fleming Meeting Hall at 21906 SW Woods Chapel Road from 5:30-7p.m.
