KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - A new class action lawsuit challenges the quality of Jackson County’s property assessment. It calls into question if some increases are even legal considering some notices came in the mail after the June 15 deadline, as required by state statutes.

The filing asks a judge to step in and offer injunctive relief. It also calls for a jury trial.

The lawsuit was filed by attorney and developer Ken McClain on behalf of Trevor and Amanda Tilton of Odessa and two businesses.

The lawsuit is critical of the methodology used by Jackson County to reach new values. It argues the newly-built assessment system fails to include sufficient information and there’s a lack of physical inspections.

It points out assessments should consider current market conditions. It argues that didn’t happen when it came to commercial property.

The lawsuit claims Jackson County uniformly increased the value of every non-vacant commercial property with an improvement by 25%. And vacant commercial properties had an across-the-board increase of roughly 50%.

KCTV5 has heard from numerous homeowners who are shocked by the large increases in their assessments. Some question if they’ll be able to keep their homes. They also question if they can realistically sell when property tax assessments increase so much in one fell swoop.

There has been a 30% average increase in Jackson County. The Assessor’s Office argues homeowners are seeing large increases because Jackson County real estate has not been assessed with Fair Market Valuations (FMV) for a long time and building costs have increased.

The lawsuit is filed against Jackson County Executive Frank White, Assessor Gail McCann Beatty and other members of the Board of Equalization.

KCTV5 reached out to Jackson County’s public information officer for comment but we have not heard back yet.

Got mine reduced...some. Still overvalued but not as bad.

Wish we could get the SB190 provisions in effect here. That would be helpful.

Actually, not weak. It raised awareness and now the county is absolutely flooded with appeals they are losing.

The county is giving massive ground right now. Wait til Independence sues them.

I thought the turn out to that was weak based on the videos that were there.
Should've been 1000's of people there IMO.

At least it brought attention to the problem.

I don't live in Jackson county for the record.

I don't know, but I can tell you who is more successful. Nancy home is worth more than twice what Clay's is worth and she's actually married. Clay is a 40 year old single nerd with a fat kid inside him just waiting to bust out. He will die alone clutching a video game controller and a comic book while never knowing what it is like to experience real love and commitment. His line will die with him and after he is gone nobody will visit his grave.

That is harsh...but I'm not sure it can be disputed.

Hit television show 'Cops' to follow Independence Police Department for 8 weeks

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Crews from the hit television show "Cops" will search for the "bad boys" of Independence, Missouri, over the next two months.

Filming for the show began last week in Independence and is expected to take eight weeks, according to Jack Taylor, a spokesperson for the Independence Police Department.

But this is not the first time the show has followed the department. Last time, Taylor said crews filmed enough content for a whole season in just two weeks.

A spokesperson for Langley Productions, which produces the show, said Independence was chosen after researching the city and talking with Independence Chief of Police Adam Dustman.

The episodes filmed in Independence are expected to air next year, per the production spokesperson.

Well went for our informal meeting today. Appt was 12:30. Got called at 1:20.

We had comps thanks to our neighbor, and my husband had pictures of cracks in our basement wall.

The gentleman didn't look at the pictures, just wrote down that we had foundation issues.

Our assessment went from 37% to 9.24%. Needless to say, we were very pleased. We were done in less than five minutes!
