Assessor

Jeremy and his staff are responsible for the valuation of all the property within the 564 square miles that comprise Christian County. There are over 42,951 parcels of real estate property and over 38,457 personal property accounts representing the entirety of the taxable property within Christian County. The total assessed value was over $2 billion for 2025.

The Assessor’s job is to place value on all taxable real and personal property, within the county as of January 1st, the assessment date set by the State Statute. All county assessors’ offices are regulated and overseen by the Missouri State Tax Commission. The assessed value, as determined by the Assessor’s office, is a percentage of the market value of the property. The assessment percentage is set by state law and determined by the classification of the property. The classification and assessment rates of real property include Agricultural 12%, Residential 19% and Commercial properties at 32%. The assessed property value is one part of the formula in determining property taxes, with the other factor being a tax rate or levy, which is determined by the various taxing entities and jurisdictions. These include thirteen separate school districts, eight road districts, ten cities, nine fire districts and nine other miscellaneous levy districts such as ambulance, senior citizens, junior college, etc.
