Legal Battles and Public Outcry Surround Jackson County Property Assessments
Originally Published 2 years ago — by KCTV 5
The Missouri Supreme Court has unanimously dismissed class-action lawsuits filed by property owners against Jackson County and Tyler Technologies. The lawsuits alleged that the county's actions resulted in unlawful increases to assessed property values and that the technology company violated its contractual obligations. The court ruled that the taxpayers failed to exhaust available administrative remedies before filing the suit and that Tyler Technologies did not owe a duty of care to taxpayers.
