HJR 36 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Proposes a constitutional amendment to require Jackson County to have an elected county assessor instead of an unelected assessment department

HJR 36 proposes a constitutional amendment requiring Jackson County to elect its county assessor starting in 2026, replacing the current unelected assessment department. This change would apply specifically to Jackson County, where voters would decide the amendment's adoption via ballot measure after November 2026. The amendment would modify Missouri's constitution to mandate that county assessors be elected officials, rather than appointed positions. It does not affect other counties or change existing assessment duties. The bill must be approved by voters to take effect.
