McKeever Proposes County Reassessment Plan in Jackson County
Jackson County assessor Dan McKeever said he will ask the county court at its next meeting to consider a reassessment under a new Missouri statute. The plan would authorize a two mill levy to pay for revaluation and pave the way for a county assessor led revaluation with possible extra staff. The aim is to correct wide disparities where assessments range from under 10 to over 60 percent of true value, shifting tax burden toward accurately valued properties.
