Jackson County begins mailing 2025 property value change notices
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Jackson County Assessor’s Office has begun mailing 2025 Real Property Value Change Notices to property owners across the county. Notices are being sent in phases throughout the week, and some residents may have already received theirs.
As required by Missouri law (RSMo 137.115), all counties must reassess real estate in odd-numbered years to reflect fair market value as of January 1. This year, Jackson County is voluntarily complying with a modified 2025 assessment order issued by the Missouri State Tax Commission (STC). That order includes a specific formula that limits how much residential property values can increase, regardless of actual market value.
What Property Owners Need to Know
1. Review Your Notice Carefully
Your notice reflects the estimated assessed value of your property, based on the STC’s order. It also includes instructions for filing an appeal if you disagree with the valuation.
2. This Is Not a Tax Bill
The Assessor does not set tax rates. Tax rates (also called levies) are set by local taxing jurisdictions such as school districts, cities and fire districts based on their budget needs.
3. Appeal Deadline: July 14, 2025
If you believe your property is overvalued for 2025, you may file an appeal with the Board of Equalization (BOE) by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, July 14, 2025.
In person: 1300 Washington Street, Kansas City, MO
Online: www.jacksongov.org/boeappeals (fastest option)
4. Senior Property Tax Credit Program
Over 40,000 Jackson County seniors are already enrolled in our new tax credit program. Estimated savings are included on 2025 notices but may change once final tax rates are set.
If you were eligible in 2024, you can still apply by June 30, 2025 to lock in your 2024 bill as your base. Learn more at jacksongov.org/seniortaxcredit.
Important: Once you're approved for the program, your future tax bills will be based on your base year amount. If your tax bill ever drops below that base amount, the lower bill will become your new base going forward.
