Confused by latest order? How to calculate if your Jackson County assessment is within limits
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jackson County assessments are showing up in homeowner's mailboxes. Some people may be surprised at the increase after a May order from the State Tax Commission. Some taxpayers may receive tax refunds in June: When payments could arrive That order capped increases in each assessment period at 15% and set 2022 as a starting point for this year's assessments after 2023 assessments were heavily contested. But determining your maximum 2025 assessment is a little bit more complicated than a single multiplication or division. Legislator Sean Smith and Preston Smith (no relation) have been helping homeowners with appeals since assessments skyrocketed in 2023. This week as they went out again they've been getting questions about what the latest State Tax Commission Order and 15% cap really means. 'People look at it and the first thing they see is, I thought it was only going to be a 15% increase and that was the perception. I've probably answered it online 100 times,' Preston Smith said. 'A lot of people are contacting me thinking they only do the 15 percent once, but you have to do it twice,' Legislator Sean Smith explained. To illustrate how it works with the latest rules using 2022 assessments as the starting point, consider a home with a $100,000 assessed value in 2022. To calculate the maximum assessed value in 2023 multiply $100,000 by 1.15 which is $115,000. But then you have to multiply by 115% again to determine the maximum value a home could be assessed at this year. In this example it would be $132,250. The two 15% increases end up yielding a maximum increase of 32.25% during the two assessment periods. 'I would really urge people to do the math themselves to check it, check and really verify,' Preston Smith said. To do that, however, you have to know your home's 2022 assessed value, which according to those who have received this year's assessments, isn't on this year's notices. You can find that historical information online at the Jackson County Parcel Viewer or Ascend Web. If your increase ends up beyond the allowances under the State order or if you simply don't agree with your value, you still can appeal. Appeals have to be filed by July 14.

The county says estimated savings are included on notices, but are subject to change. Both Sean and Preston Smith say they are pressing the Assessor's Office for complete assessment data in 2022, 2023 and 2025 to see how much home values increased, and how many of those increases equated to the maximum allowed if no new construction was done under the State Tax Commission Order without a physical inspection.

Stocks to Watch as May's Jobs Report Beats Economists' Expectations: PCTY, MMS
The broader indexes saw a nice uptick on Friday as May's Jobs report came in better than expected, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq rising over +1%. Driving the stock market's uptick, U.S. employers added 139,000 jobs, which came in above most economists' expectations of 125,000-130,000, while the unemployment rate remained steady at 4.2%. Also helping to appease tariff uncertainty was that wage growth outpaced inflation, with average hourly earnings rising 3.9% year over year compared to April's latest reading of a 2.3% inflationary uptick (Consumer Price Index). Notably, the next inflation report is set for Wednesday, June 11, when the Fed releases the latest CPI data. That said, here are a few stocks investors will want to consider following May's optimistic jobs report, with payroll stocks being of interest in particular. Image Source: Federal Reserve Economic Data Paylocity PCTY is a cloud-based payroll and human capital management (HCM) software solutions provider to keep an eye on. Notably, Paylocity has continued an impressive streak of surpassing earnings expectations, most recently beating EPS estimates for its fiscal third quarter by 16% in May. Paylocity has now exceeded the Zacks EPS Consensus for 26 consecutive quarters with an average EPS surprise of 15.4% over the last four quarters. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Meanwhile, government health and human services program provider Maximus MMS is benefiting from a pleasant trend of rising EPS revisions and trades at a very reasonable 10.8X forward earnings multiple. Glamorizing Maximus' attractive P/E valuation, fiscal 2025 and FY26 EPS estimates have risen nearly 7% and 4% in the last 30 days, respectively, with the company blasting earnings expectations for its fiscal second quarter by 47% last month (Q2 EPS of $2.01 versus $1.37 Consensus). Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Other payroll stocks to consider include HCM software providers Dayforce DAY and Paychex PAYX, along with outsourcing company Barrett Business Services BBSI which all land a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Furthermore, certain medical and hospitality-related stocks are appealing as May's Jobs report showed job growth was strongest in the healthcare and leisure/hospitality sectors, which added 62,000 and 48,000 jobs, respectively.
