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.

David Copperfield Apartment tenants blindsided on plans to turn complex into hotel
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Tenants at the historic David Copperfield Apartments are learning — some for the first time — that they may soon be forced out of their homes. A surprise development plan could turn the decades-old building into a hotel, and many residents say they were left completely in the dark. Man sentenced to 18 years in prison for North Kanas City High School shooting 'We're in the dark about their plans for the building completely,' said tenant Mary Frances Morales. The building, nestled in the Plaza neighborhood, has been a longtime fixture in the community. But now, change is quietly underway. FOX4 has confirmed that a special use permit to convert the complex into a hotel was approved by the city back on November 13, 2024. According to the city, the owner was required to post a yard sign about the proposal — but was not obligated to notify tenants individually. Residents tell FOX4 they never saw that sign. 'I didn't know it was approved until just now with you,' Morales said. Tenants say there's been no communication about the timeline, and with no clear answers, they're left wondering how long they'll have before they need to find new housing. 'It's really upsetting,' Morales told FOX4. 'You at least want a bit of time to plan and organize things if you need to move.' City officials say tenant impact is considered during the approval process but noted that no residents attended or spoke at the public meetings related to the permit. It's unclear how many tenants were even aware the meetings were happening. The owner of the building, Peter Caster of PAC Investments LLC, listed just eight full-time tenants in his business plan and claimed he had no intention of displacing them. However, tenants dispute that claim, saying nearly half of the building already operates as short-term rentals. Some residents accuse Caster of raising rents to push long-term tenants out, under the guise of adjusting to 'market rate.' FOX4 reached out to Caster directly. He answered the phone — but hung up without responding to any questions. Download WDAF+ for Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV 'You're changing the face of communities, really,' Morales added. 'There are people here that are really part of the community, that have lived here for ages. This is their home.' With so much uncertainty, residents are left to wait and wonder.
