How these numbers are made
- Property tax: Cass County 2026 levy sheet (certified Oct 6, 2026), rates per $100 of assessed value times 19% of the Census median market value: state 0.0300, library 0.2281, sheltered workshop 0.0407, hospital maintenance 0.1113, junior college 0.1822, City of Raymore 1.1868, Raymore-Peculiar R-2 school 5.0302, South Metropolitan Fire 1.2425. County levy is blank on the sheet. The sheet's 0.5400 surtax is not added (Missouri's surtax applies to commercial property). (Sheet layout: figures appear as bare numbers under each levy name.)
- Water and sewer: the city's FY2027 fee schedule (column marked PROPOSED 11/1/2026, approved by Resolution 26-34 on Aug 10, 2026): water $6.94 and sewer $9.76 per 1,000 gallons of actual use; the schedule lists no fixed monthly charge.
- Trash: $16.06 trash + $5.93 recycling + $1.50 cart fee a month on the city utility bill (rates listed in the schedule's current column; unchanged).
- Electric: Evergy Missouri West Standard Tier rate with summer/winter weighted and the Rider FAC $0.00876/kWh; the city's 7% franchise fee on electricity is added. Gas: Spire West rates, winter/summer averaged plus the PGA, converted to therms; no sourced franchise fee for gas, so the 7% is applied to electric figures only in the source.
- Not modelled: any city 'utility license' charge on water or sewer; insurance.
