Missouri Voters Decide Assessor Elections | St. Louis News

Missouri voters face a pivotal decision on August fourth as they weigh Amendment Two, which would end Jackson County’s lone exception to statewide rules and make all charter county assessors elected — a move fueled by explosive property tax hikes and a demand for direct accountability. After homeowners saw assessments soar by up to 100%, residents successfully recalled their county executive and now push for elected officials who answer directly to them. While the amendment also mandates standardized training for assessors, the real stakes are transparency and control — with a “yes” vote locking in this change statewide. Even if it fails, Jackson County is already set to elect its assessor in 2028 — but a win would cement voter power across Missouri’s charter counties.
