How these numbers are made
  • Property tax: Cass County 2026 levy schedule and the city's tax page, rates per $100 of assessed value, applied to 19% of the Census median market value (levy times 0.19). Harrisonville R-9 school levy $5.4772 and city levy $0.6085. The county-wide levies match the other Cass County cities. The city's own tax page lists an older set of county levies (including a Road and Bridge levy the 2026 county schedule shows as none, and no junior college levy); the county's 2026 schedule was used. The surtax is not applied to residential property. Fire protection is provided by the city and no separate fire levy is on the schedule.
  • Water: $21.35 base charge includes the first 1,000 gallons, then $13.38 per 1,000 gallons. Sewer: $24.92 base charge includes the first 1,000 gallons, then $13.96 per 1,000 gallons; a winter sewer average applies, so the page default is used. No typical household use was found published. Trash: $20.62 a month.
  • Electric: the city's own utility rate: first 1,000 kWh at $0.1290; over 1,000 kWh $0.1318 in summer and $0.1189 in winter, weighted 4 and 8 months ((4 * 0.1318 + 8 * 0.1189) / 12). The Power Supply Cost Adjustment (PCA) can be a credit or a surcharge and its current per-kWh value is not published on the city site, so it is not included. Part of the southwest and north edge of the city is listed by the state as served by Evergy Missouri West.
  • Gas: Spire West $22 customer charge; delivery charge averaged winter/summer plus the $0.67976 PGA, converted from ccf to therms (the same Spire Western Missouri rates used for Belton). Part of the city's southwest and north edge is listed with Liberty Utilities for gas.
  • No city tax or fee on energy bills was found for the city-owned electric utility.
  • Nothing here is legal, tax or insurance advice.
