Property Tax Assessments 2019
Well I suppose the most practical question now is what is the simplest and most effective way for people to get in line and appeal. This should be interesting.

Re: Property Tax Assessments 2019
My home in Volker had an increased assessment of 36% - I assume most everyone else saw similar increases or is it just me that got the shock?

Re: Property Tax Assessments 2019
My assessed value went up about 9% in the West Plaza. Which, frankly, seems about right

Re: Property Tax Assessments 2019
Wonder if the people who bought very cheap or a home in really bad condition got hit the hardest then they are shocked to see the rates go up.

Comparable homes were dramatically lower than the rest of the city in some neighborhoods. It should be no surprise homes are appreciating rapidly in value.brewcrew1000 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 10, 2019 8:57 am Wonder if the people who bought very cheap or a home in really bad condition got hit the hardest then they are shocked to see the rates go up.

Re: Property Tax Assessments 2019
From an outside perspective you have to think this has to be a sign of progress. When original TIFs start to expire DT the city should begin to see a rapid growth in revenue. These residential property tax increases are just the beginning. You do have to wonder how this will be spent. Will city officials reinvest to continue the rebuild? Will they pay down debt? Expand infrastructure/transportation? If the city saw a 10-20% increase in revenue, where would it go?

I would say, in this order:
1. Crime
2. Infrastructure
3. Affordable housing
4. Schools
BTW, I'm a KC resident again! So expect some serious bitching.

The city should take about half and focus on raising the wages of city workers across the board.beautyfromashes wrote: ↑Mon Jun 10, 2019 9:34 am From an outside perspective you have to think this has to be a sign of progress.

School districts will make out big time. About 80% of the increase goes to them. I would hope they focus on a combination of facility repairs, instructional materials and teacher pay
Remember that the city has no say over the school budget and vice versa.

Mine went up 350%. I have heard similar stories from others in Hyde Park.brewcrew1000 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 10, 2019 8:57 am Wonder if the people who bought very cheap or a home in really bad condition got hit the hardest then they are shocked to see the rates go up.
Honestly, it was undervalued for years. The assessment had only increased slightly from the 2010 foreclosure purchase price. However, I do think the new value is on the high side. It is probably about what it would sell for if it was 100% freshly renovated, but it still could use some work (and some work done 9 years ago is about needing to be redone).

Re: Property Tax Assessments 2019
How do we change this? Schools is as much an economic development issue as business attraction or transportation and I feel the current district leadership just has their own interests at mind instead of what is good for the city or even the education of children in the city. They’re holding us back and I’d prefer they not get more money, especially since they are tearing down and mothballing buildings instead of using them for city good.flyingember wrote: ↑Mon Jun 10, 2019 9:57 am Remember that the city has no say over the school budget and vice versa.

School districts legally are a state-level entity.
At that, only two of the 15 districts are entirely within city limits.

Re: Property Tax Assessments 2019
Maybe KCMO proper district can go the route of New Orleans and make it a all Charter only school district, maybe they would have less power/money doing it that way

Re: Property Tax Assessments 2019
More then "some" that I can assure you. We are seeing some seriously obscene increases in our neck of the woods. $132K to $329K. $164K to $367K. And $274K to $759K .. um something is seriously out a whack.FangKC wrote: ↑Tue Jun 11, 2019 2:43 pm Property assessments double, triple for some KC residents

This is a good article by Hendricks.
In assessment shock? Don’t panic just yet. Take action to avoid that big tax hit
In assessment shock? Don’t panic just yet. Take action to avoid that big tax hit
Overall , residential real estate property values were up an average 18 percent from two years ago; 16 percent for single-family houses, assessment director Gail McCann Beatty said. Some 84 percent of all homeowners saw an increase, compared to 96 percent who had appraisals go up across the state line in Johnson County.
While more than half of all homeowners—54 percent—saw increases of 15 percent or less, nearly a third opened their tax assessment notice to find that the county’s appraisers hiked their market values by more than that.

Has anybody throwing a fit about this looked at comp sales?

Re: Property Tax Assessments 2019
My assessed value went down. I'm not sure whether to be happy or sad.
