Jackson County Property Valuation Update

The Jackson County Assessor's Office rectified a data error that caused multiple parcels to receive identical valuations, with most corrected values reflecting fair market value by September 10. An earlier formulaic error led to duplicated property values, and once identified the office worked to identify and correct all affected parcels. While the number impacted is a small fraction of the county's nearly 300,000 parcels, the office is committed to promptly resolving errors in assessing fair market values of properties.

The Jackson County, Missouri, Assessor’s Office has successfully rectified a data error that caused

multiple parcels to receive identical valuations. By Sunday, September 10, the assessed values of the
majority of parcels that were mistakenly overvalued due to this input error will be corrected to reflect
their fair market values. The Assessor’s Office is in the process of reviewing the remaining affected
parcels.

In a statement, the Assessor’s Office acknowledged the issue, explaining, "Earlier this year, we identified
a formulaic error in our data that led to the duplication of property values. Once identified, we diligently
worked to identify and correct all affected parcels. We are pleased to confirm that the values of these
parcels have now been re-evaluated to accurately reflect their fair market values."

The statement also addressed the scale of the incident, noting, "It is important to emphasize that the
number of properties impacted by this incident represents a very small fraction of all properties in
Jackson County, Missouri. Assessing the fair market value of our nearly 300,000 parcels is a complex task
involving software, human input, and extensive data. While we anticipated occasional errors in this
process, we have been committed to promptly identifying and resolving them. Additionally, we have
established a comprehensive appeals process that has proven effective for thousands of property
owners in Jackson County."

Addressing rumors of a higher number of affected properties, the statement clarified, "Reports of more
than 500 affected properties are unsubstantiated and stem from data submitted to Jackson County
legislators in May before our data was certified, resulting in an inflated estimate."

"Once the Board of Equalization (BOE) approves the adjusted property values, affected property owners
will receive notices from the BOE with a 30-day window to appeal the revised valuations. We extend our
appreciation to property owners, the dedicated staff of the Assessor’s Office and the Board of
Equalization for their diligent efforts in resolving this matter."
