She also knows how many signatures are required to waive the fees. She has a map of Raytown showing the ward boundaries.

I kept waiting for the check to clear. When it didn't, I tried to call, but of course, they wouldn't answer their phones. I put a stop payment on the check and paid on the website. Three weeks later, I get a letter from the county that my check didn't clear. Since I had a receipt for the payment, I threw the letter away. Now I always pay online by credit card. The people at the county offices inept.

There is a charge for ECheck or Credit Card, but the fees are lower than the cost of a stamp. Also, the payment is automatic, and do not have to wait for the USPS to deliver it (then again being with in the 641xx/640xx Zip Codes, it would get there the next day or so anyway). To pay online, go tot eh Jackson County web site, click on part to pay your taxes, and you will need to enter the PIN that is on the tax bill (among other stuff, it is relatively easy).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767127531333372490.post-55311797444482944662014-12-03T10:44:58.449-06:002014-12-03T10:44:58.449-06:00As an FYI for those wanting to pay property taxes ...As an FYI for those wanting to pay property taxes at City Hall, you are NOT limited to regular business hours. There are drops for sewer bill payment. You may place your payment stub along with a check or money order into an envelope and drop into a sewer bill payment drop. Obviously do NOT use cash. I have always enclosed a stamped, self addressed envelope for my receipt to be mailed to me. You may also pay your vehicle taxes that way. I have used that method many times and also have mailed my property tax payment to City Hall.<br />If you are going to mail your tax payment, it would be better to mail it to the city rather than the county because the city will receive a percentage.<br /><br />Andy WhitemanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767127531333372490.post-88435969365893875162014-12-03T06:56:56.959-06:002014-12-03T06:56:56.959-06:00I've often wondered why those in charge of tak...I've often wondered why those in charge of taking care of business during a natural disaster can be counted on to be one of the first shut down in stormy weather. <br /><br />In Raytown it may be because it is such a long, long, drive from Raytown to Raymore. I also think that is why Raytown hold public events like the Mayor's Christmas Tree lighting ceremony on such a weird schedule.<br /><br />Early Friday evening instead of on a weekend.<br /><br />What's the matter, are they purposely trying to keep the number of people at the event down or is it to accommodate the out of town folk who really run our city?<br /><br />I cannot wait until next April. We need some changes in Raytown. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3767127531333372490.post-5775851735999821682014-12-02T20:36:22.817-06:002014-12-02T20:36:22.817-06:00Jon --

It's wonderful to be here and hard to believe how good business can be snuggled into a residential area as we are. The people of Raytown have made us feel very welcome here. It is amazing how they talk about the other businesses in town. Steve's Auto comes up frequently. People don't just like and respect Steve and his family they truly love them.

It was used in totally appropriate ways. <br />If you are going to be a Bower Basher, at least be fair and honest.

How about the raise for City Administrator, 80k to bail out Super Splash, remodeling the Council chambers. Snubbing your nose at a lucrative proposal from Raytown Fire. New positions, Public Relations person and Eco-Devo person. Oh yeah and messing with the The Public Safety Sales Tax.....the list goes on and on.
