INTRODUCED BY Theresa Galvin, Dan Tarwater III, Jalen Anderson, Crystal Williams, Tony Miller, Scott Burnett, and Ronald E. Finley, County Legislators
Body
WHEREAS, the Legislature of Jackson County, Missouri, believes it has become clear there are numerous grave errors in the 2019 reassessment values sent to the citizens of Jackson County; and,
WHEREAS, it is the responsibility of the County Executive and his administration to oversee the biannual reassessment and we respectfully request that the administration discard the 2019 assessments and work with the Board of Equalization and the Missouri State Tax Commission to provide a resolution to this situation; and,
WHEREAS, as government officials it is our responsibility to advocate for our constituents and it is unfair to require our constituents to wage the battle against this flawed process on their own; now therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the County Legislature of Jackson County, Missouri, that the Legislature hereby supports moving the reassessment values back to the 2018 level and working with the State of Missouri to fix problems with the 2019 reassessment.
Enacted and Approved
Effective Date: This Resolution shall be effective immediately upon its passage by a majority of the Legislature.
