Real Estate Property Assessment- Field Review

As we are currently working towards re-assessing properties for the 2025 tax year, our County Assessor and Field Reviewer have been and will be performing field reviews weekly. Our Assessor will be traveling in a County vehicle that is marked with identification of the Cedar County Assessor Office, along with her name, Leah Morton. The license plate will state ASSESSOR1. Our field review is only covering the exterior of your buildings unless it is a commercial property. We do not enter the interior of homes unless we are requested to do an interior inspection, by the property owner. We are not required to make appointments with property owners to conduct a review and we are not trespassing on your property as we authorized to be on your property as stated in our Missouri State Tax Commission statutes as noted below:

137.130.  Assessor to make a physical inspection, when — assessment. — Whenever there shall be any taxable personal property in any county, and from any cause no list thereof shall be given to the assessor in proper time and manner, or whenever the assessor has insufficient information to assess any real property, the assessor or an employee of the assessor shall assess the property based upon a physical inspection or on the best information the assessor can obtain; and for that purpose the assessor or an employee of the assessor shall have lawful right to enter into any lands and make any examination and search which may be necessary to assess such real property only when the assessor is entering because the assessor has insufficient information to assess such real property or to assess such personal property only when the assessor is entering because no list of taxable personal property has been given, and may examine any person upon oath touching the same.  The assessor or an employee of the assessor shall not enter the interior of any structure on any real property as part of the inspection to assess such property without permission.  The assessor shall list, assess and cause taxes to be imposed upon omitted taxable personal property in the current year and in the event personal property was also subject to taxation in the immediately preceding three years, but was omitted, the assessor shall also list, assess and cause taxes to be imposed upon such property.

Attention Subscribers

 Sketches in PRCs

Due to software conversion issues, our improvement sketches did not properly convert over to Vangaurd and some parcels have improvements that are stacked on top of each other. We are currently in the process of modifying these sketches to their proper form. Please be patient in this process as it will take time to go through all our county parcels.

If you notice that this is the case in the property you are looking at, please call us at 417-276-6700 and we will work on correcting the sketches.
