    Tl;dr, there are 2 claims in the lawsuit

    • Residents and businesses were not notified by June 15th, which per MO statutes could make the increase illegal
    • In the transition to a new system, there were numerous delays that the County did not hold Tyler Technologies accountable for, leading to arbitrary increases that didn’t include a physical visit to property

    Independence is discussing this tonight during a council meeting
