COMPARISON OF 2009 TAX BILL AND ESTIMATED TAX BILL
The total tax for the 2009 tax year shown on your tax bill may differ from the estimated tax bill that was mailed to you earlier this year. That difference may be because of a change in assessed value resulting from an appeal or a change in the tax levy by a taxing authority like a school district or city. All taxing authorities provided an estimated tax levy to the Jackson County Assessment Department earlier in the year.
The assessed value, additional charges and final 2009 tax levies are shown on the front of your tax bill. A complete list of all taxing authorities for which Jackson County collects taxes, the 2008 tax levy, the estimated 2009 tax levy, the final 2009 tax levy and contact information for each taxing authority will be soon be posted here. Check back soon.
