Missouri counties adopt par assessment across districts
The report notes four northern counties and seven southern counties near the Missouri river adopt par assessment while most townships in Bates, Rockville and Osage apply 50 percent or 33-3 percent bases for different property. Tax official Roach argues the move is not for new revenue but aligns with state tax reforms aiming to abolish the state levy by 1921 through General Income, Inheritance and Corporation Franchise taxes.
