Officials use homeowner example to show how county credits can offset levy changes

Aug 21, 2026

Finance staff presented a concrete homeowner example demonstrating that county tax credits can fully or partially offset rollback recoupment for some households: one Jackson County home was shown to receive about $1,199.29 over three years.

The full story

To illustrate uneven effects, staff pulled parcel-level data publicly available on county records for an example property in Jackson County. The presenter said the example home had an initial 2023 assessment of $415,000 that was later adjusted down to 348,450 for credit calculations; staff calculated the tax credit for that house would be roughly $1,199.29 distributed over three years — approximately $400 per year.
