YELLOW SHEET Office of the State Auditor of Missouri |
Report No. 2004-102
December 30, 2004
The following report contains certification information on taxing authorities throughout Missouri
State law requires the Missouri State Auditor to annually check all taxing jurisdictions throughout Missouri as to their compliance with the tax limitation provisions of Missouri�s Hancock Amendment and with Section 137.073, RSMo. The following report shows whether or not a taxing jurisdiction has met its constitutional and statutory obligation to set an overall tax rate at a level approved by voters and within the bounds of limits set by Missouri�s Constitution and the State Legislature.
IMPORTANT: The State Auditor�s Office has no authority to determine or review individual tax assessments. Chapter 138, RSMo governs the appeals process for assessed valuations as they pertain to individual taxpayers.
All individual tax assessment matters are the responsibility of each county assessor and board of equalization. Appeals to the state on tax assessment matters are handled by the Missouri State Tax Commission.
