The Sedgwick County Appraiser’s office
values property for local Ad Valorem (property) tax
purposes. The office also determines taxable location,
ownership, and eligibility for exemptions or special
valuation (such as farm land appraised on its
agricultural productivity). Kansas law requires that
property be appraised at its market value on January 1
of each year. The value of property is determined by
market transactions. The Appraiser’s office has the
responsibility to study those transactions and appraise
property accordingly. The Appraiser’s office determines
market value through the use of generally accepted
appraisal methods. This process ensures that each
property owner pays no more or less than a fair share of
the cost of providing government services.
Mission:
To fairly and accurately discover, list,
and value all tangible taxable property within Sedgwick
County; meet all statutory requirements; maintain
in-house training; attain current information to ensure
accuracy; provide information to all who come in contact
with our office in a courteous, professional manner; and
educate the public and private sectors relative to the
appraisal process.
