Class Action Lawsuit Launched Against Jackson County

As we noted this week . . . 

PROPERTY TAX PUSH BACK DOMINATES THE DISCOURSE IN JACKSON COUNTY AND NOW LEGAL ACTION IS UNDERWAY!!!

A glimpse at dox filed recently . . .

The class action lawsuit has been heretofore unnoticed by our MSM collegues . . . The lawsuit names Jackson County Executive Frank White And the County assessor amongst others. 

Insiders tell us to look closely and notice former allies of the County Exec now on siding with opposition amid this ongoing hot mess. 

Now, TKC IS NOT A LAWYER but we think one of the opening lines is strong . . .

"This is a class action claim arising from Defendants’ assessment actions towards owners of property in Jackson County, Missouri. As more fully set forth below, Defendants’ actions resulted in illegal and unlawful increases in the assessed value of real property throughout Jackson County, thereby threatening class members with imminent harm in the form of unlawful and illegal tax increases."

Better than just our TKC FIRST BREAKING NEWS . . . We wanted to share perspective from insiders who are speaking on this issue . . .

Here's a telling passage sent just moments ago to out www.TonysKansasCity.com blog community . . .

"One out of three parcels in the county were considered high assessment increases. This would make the 2023 property tax assessment the largest percentage increase we have had in the County’s history.

"Within about three hours of reviewing the report, I recognized there were serious errors in the data." 

Expect local news to pick up the story soon and the Jackson County tax revolt takes hold.
