RE:

Parcel # _____________________

Dear Ms. Whitney:

The tax on the above referenced parcel(s) is being paid under protest
pursuant to RSMo§139.031. The grounds for this protest are as follows:
1. The 2019 value of the property as assessed by the Jackson County Missouri
Assessor does not represent the true value in money of that property;
2. The Assessor’s 2019 increase in the assessed valuation of the property was
in excess of 15% since the last assessment and there was no physical
inspection of the property conducted by the Assessor;
3. The Assessor’s 2019 increase in the market value of the property does not
represent the true market value of the property;
4. Based on the erroneously increased value of the property, the taxes payable
on that property increased by ____ % and will result in a tax windfall which
RSMo §137.073 proposes to prevent; and
5. Taxpayer disputes the accuracy of the reassessment and the increase in the
amount of tax taxpayer is being required to pay.
The true value in money claimed by the taxpayer is ________________
(difference between last year’s tax bill and the 2019 tax bill).

Suit will be filed against you, the Jackson County Collector, for the recovery
of the amount protested unless it has been refunded prior to 90 days after the date
of this protest.

Sincerely,
