The lawsuit alleged the county failed to notify property owners of the value increases, requiring property inspections or accounting for new construction.
City managers from Blue Springs and Independence testified in court on Friday, saying the process is holding up planning for their budgets.
The Jackson County property assessments will be on the radar during the 2024 legislative session in the Show Me State.
Last summer, the City of Independence initiated legal action against the county. The City of Blue Springs later joined the lawsuit.
The city council voted unanimously on Monday to move forward with legal action this week.
