The assessor is required by law to assess property every other year on “odd” years. If your property value
increases, you will receive an Impact Notice postcard in the mail. We typically mail impact postcards around
May 15th of each year. If there is no increase, you will not get one. Please note that the assessor’s books
close on June 30th. I will NOT have access to make changes after that date.
The assessor only measures your property to find the Appraised value.
Appraised value x Class (Agriculture= 12%, residential = 19%, commercial= 32%) = Assessed Value.
Assessed Value x Levy / 100 = tax amount.
The taxing entities are listed down the right side of your tax bill every year. By law, The Hancock
Amendment, they must roll back their levy so that they do not receive a windfall when the assessor does
their job. The levy is typically set by September 1st of each year.
Publicly available information is available at;
Previous year tax bills can be viewed at If you just purchased the parcel
look it up by parcel number for the previous tax year bills. The levy can also be found on the collector's site.
Your Tax code for your levy is on your PRC.
Land values; If you have a condo the “land” value is the common area and was typically determined when
the developer set up the development. If you are currently valued using agricultural productivity rates those
may change if you do not have agricultural productivity as defined in MO statutes. You will need to prove
productivity.
My staff and I are available to answer any questions you might have as to how we determine your
APPRAISED value and the options you have to appeal.
