Jackson County property tax appeals process receives 'poor' rating from state auditor

Samantha Boring, KCTV5, April 23, 2026. Missouri State Auditor Scott Fitzpatrick rated the Jackson County Board of Equalization's 2023 appeal process 'poor': 'The bottom line is taxpayers in Jackson County got a raw deal.' Findings include unsupported Assessment Department testimony accepted while homeowners were required to document, and 35 percent of reviewed cases lacking the required seven-day hearing notice.
