Buchanan Co. Told To Boost Assessments
LT. JOSEPH, Mo. AP The Missouri Tax Commission orders the Buchanan County Board of Equalization to reconvene and raise real estate assessments by 5.76 percent. Officials can lift individual assessments or apply a blanket increase. The move stems from uniform one third valuation rules and a computer error that overstated the target by more than $4.5 million, prompting the blanket rise. James Riney, tax commission chair, says the correction was needed to avoid harassment and meet the law.
