Class action lawsuit filed over Jackson County assessments (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=349124)

Amazing. Land of the "Fee."

This nation started a revolution after a few cents tax on tea.

Hopefully, the residents of Jackson County can overcome this and keep the Jackson statue as well.

I am sure this crap is coming to PA soon.

The properties had been undervalued for years. The county isn’t overvaluing the properties in most cases. This isn’t a case of blatant corruption.

I doubt it, unless your sidewalks were recently redone along with your sewer hookups, ours were ;(. Shitty 3.5" pour. Sweetgum in the easment has already lifted one slab 2" in two years. Another thing we will be bringing up on appeal.

Let's say the increases were levyed statewide, it does violate state law for some folks, and it doesn't for others living in the same state and tax bracket but in different communities based on population. Kinda seems unfair. What happens when the banks **** up mortages again? Gotta cap the max increase at 15% this year and next.

Most folks should only see a 10% increase and Jackson County needs to pick up some slack when it comes to the policing of KCMO.

Manny is going against the voters wishes and trying to get the Andrew Jackson statues removed.

I've got a zoom call with Jackson Co and a good friend who's a Real Estate Mogul in KC about my 89% increase. Its on July 14th. If I can get it down to about 15 or 20 percent I can live with that.

Mr. Blowfish, are they assessing your home above what it is worth or is it just getting caught up to where it should be and the large increase is hard to stomach all at once?

Jackson County executive Frank White fires back at mayor Quinton Lucas after property tax criticism

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/ja...38486791&ei=38

Jackson County Executive Frank White has sharp words for Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas.

It started with Lucas questioning the assessment process the county has used.

Lucas told KMBC the high assessments will hinder the growth of neighborhoods in the city and that the county should stagger large tax increases and set up payment plans.

White wrote a letter the next business day, saying the mayor's statements sow "seeds of confusion and mistrust."

He called on Lucas to retract his statements and that the county "shall appraise properties" at their true value in money.

White's home is in Lee's Summit. In 2021 it was assessed at $356,000. This year, it's up $26,000, an increase of seven percent.

That's far below the county's announced 30% average increase.

White's neighbor's house on the left looks nearly identical

It's up $100,000, or 29%. His neighbor on the right is up 28%.

Their assessments are on average $64,000 more than White's for the same three-car garage house, on the same corner of the same block.

In the letter, White calls out Lucas' house specifically. It went up $192,000 in assessed value, a 64 percent increase.

"And that's getting off easy compared to a lot of people in Jackson County," Lucas said in an interview earlier this month with KMBC. "There are going to be a lot of people in Jackson County who will not be able to pay these property taxes."

Many real estate professionals have criticized those large disparities.

Would be interesting to see who would fill a power vacuum with no Frank. I am not a fan and would love to see someone else in the role even though nobody will get close to recalling him.

Come to think of it I am not sure what a recall looks like for his position...not sure what the process is.
