Proposes an amendment to the Constitution of Missouri to require Jackson County to have an elected county assessor instead of an unelected assessment department
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to require Jackson County to elect its county assessor rather than appointing one through an unelected department. The change would alter the county's current governance structure by making the assessor an elected official, a move that directly impacts local property tax assessment processes. If voters approve the amendment, the county would need to hold elections for this position, shifting power from appointed administrators to the public. The legislation specifically targets Jackson County due to its unique population size and existing charter form of government.
