Jackson County business owners continue to push back on soaring property assessments

With the July 14 deadline fast approaching, dozens of Jackson County business owners gathered Tuesday night to learn how to appeal their skyrocketing property tax assessments. The town hall, hosted at J. Rieger & Co., was organized to help property owners navigate the appeal process. The message from speakers was clear: gather documentation, take photos, highlight deficiencies and don’t be afraid to challenge the county’s numbers.
