Un ****ing believable. Jackson County is a bunch of totalitarian assholes.

Potential Bad News! Yesterday, we received word that the Judge that oversaw one of the Jackson County Property Tax Assessment Cases ruled that the State Tax Commissioner's Order to Roll Back the 2023 property tax assessments was valid.

However, there was another case filed in 2024 by the State Tax Commission to force Jackson County to comply with their Order that was overseen by the same judge that issued yesterday's ruling. On November 20, 2024, this Judge ruled that the State Tax Commission cannot use the Courts to force the Jackson County Government to enforce the State Tax Commission's Order, due to the fact that the State Tax Commission litigated this same case in June/July/August that resulted in the case being dismissed with prejudice.

This means that while the April 1, 2025 Judgment states that the State Tax Commissioner's Order was a Valid Order, the November 20, 2024 Judgment holds that the Courts are unable to enforce the State Tax Commissioners Order.

This means that while the Court has found that the 2023 Property Tax Assessments were unlawful and the State Tax Commission was 100% in its rights to issue the Order to rollback the property assessments, SINCE the State Tax Commission previously filed the case against the Jackson County Government on the same facts and for the same relief that was tried in June/July/August and dismissed with prejudice for the same/similar relief, the State Tax Commission cannot ask the Court to force the Jackson County Government to roll back the property taxes.

The November 20, 2024 case is currently being appealed and is in the Western District Court of Appeals hands. If they affirm the Judge's findings in the November 20, 2024 case, then Jackson County Property Owners may not get their property taxes rolled back as the Courts would be unable to force the Jackson County Government to comply with the State Tax Commission's Order.

I know this is very confusing. I might have to try my best to break this down in a Let's Talk Jackson. I hope my analysis is wrong. Stay tuned and be well.
