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 proposed constitutional amendment would require Jackson County to replace its current unelected assessment department with an elected county assessor. The bill specifically targets the selection method for this official, mandating that residents vote for the assessor rather than having the position filled by appointment. If voters approve the change, it would alter how the county handles property assessments by introducing a direct democratic element to the office. This measure affects only Jackson County and does not apply to other counties in Missouri.
