The State Tax Commission of Missouri (STC) is tasked with monitoring the overall levels of assessment for each of the state’s counties. These levels or ratios of assessment are monitored through the completion of ratio studies conducted by the Ratio Section of the STC. This monitoring process is intended to provide uniform and equitable assessment throughout the state of Missouri. We believe that the methodologies employed in the completion of the ratio studies by the STC are flawed thereby leading to erroneous taxpayer assessments. We have challenged the levels of assessment for the 2003, 2005 and 2007 assessment cycles with the intent of proving up the actual level of assessment through our own commissioned studies.
