In Missouri, the deadline for filing a property tax appeal typically falls within 30 days after the mailing of the Notice of Assessment. Missing this deadline may limit your ability to appeal until the next assessment cycle.
It’s important to act promptly to ensure your appeal is considered. Consulting with an attorney early can help you understand your timeline and prepare an effective submission.
Evidence commonly includes recent property appraisals, comparable sales data, photographs, repair estimates, and documentation showing errors in the original assessment.
Providing thorough and accurate evidence helps demonstrate that your property’s assessed value is incorrect, increasing the chance of a successful appeal.
