Went to pay electric bill. Staff is freindly and I'm always right in and out! Much faster than paying at the company. In addition, you do not have to pay an additional service fee like when you pay online or over the phone.
It’s a place to pay bills and speeding tickets.
Doesn’t answer and usually refuse to help when they do . Wasting OUR MONEYand we don’t have an alternative source
Get a lawyer before you come to court if you are African American.
Horribly rude, talked over me the entire time. Just moved here from Atlanta and was treated like an inferior citizen, NOT encouraging news from their government. That's not helping either party, deterring potential homeowners.... Truly sad. Worse off the coordinator out front wasn't concerned either. Is this how Independence treats minorities?? Ethically disgusted by such ignorance.
Would give 0 stars if I could. Starting to regret moving to independence mo. I'm not prejudice at all but want to speak my mind. There is still a lot of of prejudice in the world and independence in one of the places. I made a complaint to this particular city hall about discrimination at the Apple Market on 24 hwy they called themselves looking into it but. A solution was never found. I had a witness and everything for an incident that happened there and a Caucasian lady who gave me her number if they needed a witness. We were followed in the store. My child was accused of stealing. Which she did not. Then the police called on me for defending my child. Nothing was done about it. It's ok, because what's done in the dark comes to the light. Trust me. And as for City Hall thanks for nothing. I feel like We have no rights and don't belong in the city of independence.
If you r looking for a welcoming, friendly & inclusive city to live/visit, the city of Independence is not for u. The city officials use intimidation and retaliation to achieve their goals and treat their citizens as ATM machines to generate revenue on top of taxes already paid. The city loves to set speed traps in areas where they’re not trying to address a public safety concern but a convenient place where they can hide and catch people for ticky tack violations. I sat having lunch off 24 HWY one day and watched as a speed trap was set up in a section of road where people sometimes pick up speed going down a hill but usually even out coming back up the other side. I didn’t see 1 car driving recklessly or speeding excessively but they were pulling people over like they had a fishing net. The purpose of the trap was clearly to generate revenue plain and simple. Meanwhile there are sections of the city where I never see a police car and vehicles are regularly racing down the street. Independence has no interest in community policing and working to make the entire community a better place for all its citizens. They follow the model of putting cops on the street to generate revenue for the city. It’s not like the city does not have real police work to be done. Meth is rampant and right out in the open in some areas. I guess addressing this problem won’t generate the revenue that five miles over the speed limit or not coming to a complete stop can generate. Police officers do however like to pull people over who look to be of Hispanic origin hoping to maybe find someone they can turn over to ICE. I work in an industry where I interact with many people who must deal with city administrative officials across the metro area and consistently Independence comes up unsolicited as a city that is not only difficult to work with but often seems to go out of their way to be spiteful, vindictive and just all around uncooperative. The city uses their code enforcement division to harass and retaliate against people who have spoken up about the city. If you have been designated as a person or group who is not “one of them” or “with them”, you will get nuisance complaints if your property does not look like the Masters golf course. In the meantime, neighbors around the so-called nuisance property that actually do have issues will be overlooked. Businesses, schools and other city property are never held to even close the same standard. I sat through a session of court one day and it was eye opening how the city acts with zero compassion for its citizens. One elderly woman who could barely walk to the front with her walker was getting code violations for a home that had been foreclosed on. It was bank owned at that point and they were not maintaining it. She had documentation supporting the foreclosure and transfer of title and the judge did not dispute her assertions, but he wanted more documentation. There was no effort to get this woman help to resolve this issue or point her in the right direction. It was just pretty much, this isn’t enough documentation and next case. The judge also seemed to go out of his way to humiliate defendants who were being nothing but respectful and made a show of having one handcuffed even though he had been sitting quietly for almost an hour prior to his case coming up. The mentality seemed to be, we have empty jail cells and by golly we’re gunna fill em’ and look at this person who is down…let’s kick em’ in the teeth. The judge was eager to give people permanent criminal records for minor offenses. Independence was home to not only one our greatest presidents but an even better man in Harry Truman. A man who was compassionate, inclusive and knew the importance of community. The current leadership of the city of Independence and many of its employees don’t seem to have a clue about what he stood for and no interest in fostering a community he would be proud of.
Worst city of all of KC metro. Good people are leaving in droves. My mom almost bought a $247000 house here but I told her don't do it because nothing is trash bin is worth more than $98000.
Prodigal, I'm sorry to hear of your experiences in Independence. I moved hear after living 26 years in KC, and I miss KC. After 13 years here, I'm starting to regret it. I'm Caucasian but feel like I'm often harassed because I'm a single widowed woman. I've also witnessed the racism in this city. I hope things are better for you. I'd like to "Get the hell out of Dodge."
They really need a better system. You wait for an hour and a half. Then wait for another hour and a half for someone else to hand you a piece of paper so you can stand in line to pay your personal property taxes. There must be a better way.
