The City of Independence will have a public hearing for the proposed property tax levy on March 23, 2026, at 4:45 pm. To view the hearing notice, please click the link at the bottom of this post.

House File 718, passed during the 2023 Legislative Session, requires that a hearing on the property tax rate be held prior to the completion of the budget. The proposed property tax hearing is intended to spotlight the change in property tax levy to be requested by cities each year. This hearing must be held as a stand-alone meeting, with its own agenda and minutes. No other city business may be on the agenda or discussed during the meeting. In addition to the published notice, the proposed property tax hearing also requires a notice to be mailed directly to each taxpayer on March 20th each year. This property tax notice mailer will show the proposed property tax hearing time, date, and location. The mailer also shows the same information for the county and K-12 school proposed property tax hearing. https://alrt.se/u/YGYbsLsYeDE
