Trial date set for case against Jackson Co. property tax assessments

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - A trial date has been set for the case against Jackson County property tax assessments following a “favorable ruling” from a Missouri judge.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced on Thursday, March 14, that the Court has ruled favorably in his case against Jackon County and its assessments for the property taxes of Missouri residents.

A trial date has been set for June 6. Another trial date for the case against Tyler Technologies, the property appraisal contractor for Jackson Co., has been set for April 2025.

“This is a huge step in the right direction for all Missourians who have been overtaxed. A court has already found that Jackson County’s assessments ‘failed the citizens,’ were ‘inaccurate,’ and that there was a ‘lack in leadership and preparation of Jackson County officials.’ The evidence in this case is overwhelming, which is why I’m confident in our ultimate success on the merits,” AG Bailey said. “My office has put in long hours on this case, and we will not stop until we’ve achieved justice for all Jackson County residents.”

The Attorney General has encouraged any resident of Jackson Co. who wants to share their story to call his office at 1-800-392-8222.
