Greene County Assessor's Office issues real property value change notices
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — The Greene County Assessor's Office is starting to mail 2025 Real Property Value Change Notices to property owners throughout the county. Notices are being sent in phases throughout the week.
In accordance with Missouri law, all Missouri counties are required to reassess real property values in odd-numbered years to reflect market conditions as of January 1.
The 2025 reassessment is based on two years of real estate sales data and continued market appreciation in Greene County.
'Greene County has experienced sustained real estate growth,' said Assessor Brent Johnson in a news release.
Johnson said strong home sales, increased investor activity and continued relocation to the Greene County area have all contributed to rising property values.
Mandated adjustments from the Missouri State Tax Commission
Due to the unprecedented pace of real estate market growth across the state, the Missouri State Tax Commission (STC) has issued a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to Greene County, along with over 90 other counties.
Under Missouri law, county assessments must fall within 90% to 110% of the market value.
Greene County was found to be below the minimum threshold, with an estimated assessment ratio of 77.71%.
As a result, the STC has directed the county to apply a minimum increase of 13% to 15% to property and land values to make progress towards compliance. Failure to do so will result in the loss of state funding and legal enforcement actions.
'As Assessor, I swore an oath to follow the law. While I was able to negotiate a lower increase than originally proposed, nearly every county in Missouri is facing similar reassessment orders for 2025,' Johnson explained in the release. 'Even with the 2023 increases, we remain below compliance due to how quickly the market has grown.'
What property owners need to know
Review your notice carefully
Your notice reflects your property's estimated fair market value as of Jan. 1, 2025. It also includes information on how to request a review or file an appeal.
This is not a tax bill
The Assessor does not set tax rates. Local taxing jurisdictions — including school districts, municipalities, and fire districts — set levies based on their budget needs.
Appeal period: May 13 – June 13, 2025
If you believe your property is overvalued or misclassified, you may request an informal review with the Assessor's Office.
Deadline Board of Equalization: July 14, 2025, at 5 p.m.
Formal appeals must be filed with the Board of Equalization (BOE) by this deadline.
Appeal options
Informal Appeals (May 13 – June 13)
Call 417-868-4094 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, or file online using the E-Appeal system at: https://greenecountymo.gov/assessor
Walk-In Appeal Sessions
Location: 940 N. Boonville Avenue, Room #35, Springfield, MO Hours: Monday–Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Formal Appeal to the Board of Equalization (BOE)
If no agreement is reached during the informal process, you may submit a formal appeal to the BOE. Instructions are included with your notice and available online.
'Please be patient as we anticipate a high call volume,' said Johnson. 'That's why we've added walk-in sessions and the E-Appeal option to give property owners more flexibility to ask questions and understand their valuation.'
Senior Tax Credit – Apply by June 30, 2025
In August 2023, the Greene County Commission approved a Senior Tax Credit Program for homeowners aged 62 and older. The program is administered by the Collector of Revenue.
Learn more or apply online: https://greenecountymo.gov/collector/senior.php
Contact the Collector's Office: Phone: 417-380-5889
Email: PropertyTaxCredit@GreeneCountyMo.gov
Important: Property assessments will continue annually, but your tax amount will be frozen based on the year you are approved. This freeze will be reflected on your tax bill starting November 2025 as a credit.
Beware of Valuation Scams
Assessor Johnson advises property owners to be cautious of third-party companies offering to assist with appeals for a fee.
'Many of these services use free public data and charge for inaccurate or outdated reports,' said Johnson in the release. 'This can harm your appeal and waste your time and money.'
Only licensed or certified appraisers in Missouri may legally offer valuation opinions. Offers to provide assistance based on contingency fees may violate Missouri law and the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP).
Key Reminders
The Assessor sets values, not tax rates or tax bills.
Contact taxing entities directly for levy and budget questions (e.g., school districts, fire districts, municipalities).
Appeal early—don't wait until the deadline.

Would investors be mad to consider these UK shares at P/E ratios above 30?
Despite a reputation for trading at a discount to their US counterparts, some UK shares trade at very high price-to-earnings (P/E) multiples. But these can often be better value than they look. There are a couple of stocks from the FTSE 100 and the FTSE 250 that currently trade at P/E ratios above 30. But – for different reasons – I think both are worth considering. Informa's (LSE:INF) in the business of running trade shows and conferences. Its biggest competitive strength is the popularity of its events, which are leaders in their various industries. The firm also leases – rather than owns – the venues that host its events. As a result, it has relatively little in the way of physical assets, which makes for low maintenance costs. A consequence of this is that Informa's free cash flow is consistently higher than its net income. In 2024, net income was around £407m, while free cash flow was £771m. The company's cash flow statement indicates that a lot of the difference is due to amortisation costs. Some of these relate to the firm's acquisition of Ascential in 2024. There are some important risks to consider. One of the most obvious is the possibility of a trade war, which is especially live at the moment and could be significant. Importantly though, I don't think the stock's as expensive as its P/E multiple suggests. On a free cash flow basis, it trades at a multiple of 13 and this seems much more reasonable. Shares in FTSE 250 brick manufacturer Ibstock (LSE:IBST) currently trade at a P/E ratio of almost 50. But there's a very clear reason for this. According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS) the number of housing completions has been falling since 2021. And that has been weighing on demand for bricks. There's reason to believe though, that the long-term picture's much more positive. The UK has a shortage of housing that might well lead to strong demand over the next decade and beyond. If this causes Ibstock's earnings to get back to where they were at their peak, the current share price implies a P/E ratio of around 8. I think that means the stock might not be as expensive as it looks. Ongoing developments in housing construction are a potential risk for the firm. Some new building techniques require fewer bricks than traditional ones and this is worth paying attention to. Investors therefore shouldn't be complacent when it comes to the stock. But they also shouldn't take a high P/E ratio at face value as a sign the company's shares are overvalued. Valuing a stock isn't just about looking at the multiples it trades at. A high P/E ratio says more about investor expectations than the underlying business. With Informa, the business generates more cash than its net income indicates. And Ibstock's profits should gather momentum in the event of UK housebuilding picking up in the future. I don't think investors would be mad to consider buying either at today's prices. I see both as reasons to look past the headline multiples when it comes to evaluating stocks.

Engineers unveil radical new freight system that could make diesel trucks obsolete: 'Almost like a mini-airline'
A team of engineers from the University of New South Wales is developing a fleet of drones that can deliver vital supplies to remote areas of Australia. The all-electric fleet would produce zero emissions and be a game-changer for both the population of these remote areas and the environment at large. Countries like Australia have vast swaths of remote land. The population of these remote areas depends on diesel trucks for the delivery of vital materials such as food and medicine. But the emissions from those long deliveries can be detrimental to both the environment and the humans they are serving. Diesel trucks are one of the largest sources of emissions around the globe, contributing to human respiratory illnesses such as asthma and lung disease. They are also detrimental to the environment, as they can degrade crops and soil as well as produce acid rain. To top it all off, they contribute mightily to warming temperatures around the globe. The project is a collaboration between a company called Seaflight Technologies and Macquarie University. Together, they are developing the AURA-E, an electric drone designed for long-range, heavy cargo transport. The ultimate goal of the program is to create a drone that can carry 440-660 pounds over hundreds of kilometers. The leaders of the program believe its benefits will go beyond efficiency and being better for the environment. It should also be a significant source of job growth in the region. This is because the operation of a fleet of drones will require a new generation of aviation professionals and entrepreneurs. With that in mind, the government of Australia awarded the development team half of the program's $3 million budget. This is only the latest use of drone technology to benefit the environment. It has also been used to locate abandoned oil and gas wells. And they are increasingly being deployed to fight deadly and destructive wildfires before they can spread out of control. The heads of the program have big ideas about its potential scope. "If you imagine drones as being almost like a mini-airline, you could have hundreds or even thousands of flights per day," said Graham Doig, the founder of Seaflight Technologies. He was also understandably enthusiastic about the idea of replacing the dirty diesel trucks. "You can start talking about resupplying a community with medical supplies or fresh fruit and vegetables that otherwise would have come from the other side of the country in a diesel-spewing truck. We're taking that off the road, and we're replacing it with near-zero emissions technology that can provide people with goods they need the next day."

Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant could safely operate for 20 more years, report says
PG&E could safely operate the Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant for another 20 years, according to a safety report released on Thursday. In response to PG&E's application to renew its operating licenses for 20 years, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission reviewed inspections of Units 1 and 2 to evaluate how aging would impact the power plant's 'passive' systems like concrete, wall thickness and electric cabling. According to the report, PG&E's plans and procedures to address aging would meet the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's safety requirements. 'It's a key milestone and step to re-licensing the plant,' PG&E's vice president of nuclear business and technical services Maureen Zawalick said of the report. PG&E applied on Nov. 7, 2023, for a 20-year license renewal to continue operating Units 1 and 2 of the power plant. If the NRC approves the license renewals, Units 1 and 2 would have the option to operate until 2044 and 2045, respectively. But only with the state Legislature's approval. Senate Bill 846 allowed PG&E to keep the power plant running until 2030. Even if PG&E is granted the two license renewals, the state must issue its own approval for the power plant to operate past that year. Zawalick said PG&E stands at the ready to continue providing electricity if the commission and the state allow. The power plant provides the state with nearly 10% of its power, serving about 4 million customers, she said. 'Continuing to operate the plant supports the state's electric reliability and affordability,' she said. 'It also helps, as we've talked about, meeting our aggressive climate goals of the state.' PG&E may refund customers $43 million for unplanned outage at Diablo power plant In a few weeks, the NRC will release the final environmental impact statement for the plant's 20-year license renewal. Then, on July 8, the commission's Advisory Committee of Reactor Safeguards will hold a public hearing at its headquarters in Maryland, where PG&E will present its case for renewing the operating licenses. Zawalick compared the hearing to 'defending our dissertation.' Later this year, the commission is expected to make a decision about the license renewal. PG&E must also get certifications from the California Coastal Commission and the Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board to continue operating the power plant, Zawalick said.
