Property Tax Assessments 2019
Re: Property Tax Assessments 2019
The value seems fair, even a little low compared to the appraisal we got this summer. So we are not fighting it. It was absurdly low for almost a decade.

Re: Property Tax Assessments 2019
Same. Maybe the taxing districts should reduce their %
Re: Property Tax Assessments 2019
It is strange how they have largely escaped scrutiny in all of this.

Re: Property Tax Assessments 2019
I'd hope that he would have lost it because he's secretive and combative... but you're probably right. But reducing the taxing rate is the school board's call. That's who I meant has escaped scrutiny.
Re: Property Tax Assessments 2019
The school board already decided they will not reduce the rate. I think the city did, but only because they were required to by state statute.
Re: Property Tax Assessments 2019
Yes, that's the decision I was talking about.

Re: Property Tax Assessments 2019
Exactly. Why is all the complaining on the appraisal? It's generally accurate (finally)

Re: Property Tax Assessments 2019
Yes, and not reducing their rate will all but kill the school boards chance of getting their bond initiative passed.
Re: Property Tax Assessments 2019
Is 1969 still the last bond issue that was passed? It was for a long time. If that's still true they probably didn't have much chance in the first place.

They built a bunch in the 1980's, with the deseg money. Central and Paseo HS both date from that era.

Re: Property Tax Assessments 2019
They might have been updated then, but they were built many, many decades before the 90s.flyingember wrote: ↑Mon Nov 25, 2019 4:52 pm Paseo High was built in 1991

Re: Property Tax Assessments 2019
Those two are entirely new buildings. I watched them implode Paseo H.S. They also renovated a lot of existing buildings.

Re: Property Tax Assessments 2019
A Missouri legislative committee has proposed a series of reforms to the state’s property tax system in response to this year’s reassessment process, where thousands of homeowners who saw their values spike filed a record number of appeals with Jackson County.
The recommendations won’t help taxpayers facing onerous tax bills this winter as a result of those big increases. But the committee’s chairman, Rep. J. Eggleston, R-Maysville, said in an interview that the changes would make the property tax system fairer for homeowners across the state. They would also see a tighter lid on tax increases, some of which are influenced by quirks in the law that treat taxpayers differently, depending on where they live.

Re: Property Tax Assessments 2019
Those all seem like decent ideas. Ending the KCSD's carveout especially.

Jackson County new tax payment system down. This is what we get for voting a baseball player into government just because he could turn a smooth double play.
