Jasper County property owners receiving 2025 Value Change Notices: What you need to know
JASPER COUNTY, Mo. — Jasper County property owners can expect their 2025 Real Property Value Change Notices in the mail soon.
Those notices reflect updated market values as of January 1, 2025, based on two years of real estate data and rising property values across the state.
The Missouri State Tax Commission found Jasper County's assessment ratio below the legal range at 68.61%. Missouri law says county assessments must fall within 90% to 110% market value.
The county must increase property values by 13% to 15% to comply with state mandates or risk losing state funding and facing legal consequences.
Jasper County officials reiterate: this is not a tax bill. The notice only shows your property's estimated market value.
Tax rates are set by local taxing entities like schools and municipalities, not the assessor.
Residents should review their notice carefully and note their rights to appeal. Officials said if a resident believes their property is overvalued or misclassified, they can request an informal review with the assessor's office:
