Jackson County Assessor Announces Walk-in Property Value Reviews KANSAS CITY, Mo. (May 18, 2023) – The Jackson County, Missouri, Assessor’s Office is now offering property value reviews without an appointment. The new service was introduced to help property owners resolve property value disputes more quickly and conveniently, and reduce the need for an appeal at the Board of Equalization (BOE). During a property value review, property owners can meet with the Jackson County Assessment staff and local, licensed real estate brokers to discuss their valuation concerns. The county assessor says many property value disputes can be resolved during the property value review, eliminating the need for an appeal. Property owners who would like a property value review are encouraged, but not required, to bring relevant supporting documentation such as recent purchase documents, photographs of the property and estimates for repairs. Owners who have not received their value notice can meet with real estate brokers about their property value. To avoid a wait, assessment staff can help the property owner schedule an appointment or the owner may schedule an appointment by logging into the Jackson County Assessor’s website at jacksongov.org/Government/Departments/Assessment. Property owners do not waive their right to appeal by participating in the property value review. If the property value dispute is not resolved during the value review, the property owner can pursue an appeal to the BOE. The deadline to file an appeal is July 10, 2023. If owners need assistance filing an appeal, staff are available to help property owners request an appeal or interior inspection.

Property owners will receive two notices before the July 10, 2023, deadline to appeal. This first notice is a Market Value Notice, which is in the process of being issued.
