Summary
County Appraiser Alicia Baumfalk told commissioners that 2026 valuation notices were mailed Feb. 28, 2026, and advised property owners to review their notices and contact the Appraiser's Office within 30 days to initiate appeals; she also summarized changes to personal property rendition requirements.
County Appraiser Alicia Baumfalk told the Board of Commissioners on March 2 that the 2026 value notices were mailed Feb. 28, 2026, and urged property owners to review their notices and contact the Appraiser's Office within 30 days if they wish to appeal their values.
Baumfalk summarized valuation categories under discussion — agricultural land, land, residential, personal property and oil & gas — and noted personal property renditions are no longer generally required unless there are changes to personal property holdings. She said she provided the commissioners with spreadsheets of additions and abatements for 2024–2025 and correspondence with the Kansas Department of Revenue about motor vehicle values and discussed oil and gas exemptions.
She asked the board about an Employment Attorney letter; the commissioners said they would ask County Attorney Chris Rohr after his phone call. The appraisal office did not state specific case counts for appeals at the meeting; residents were instructed to contact the Appraiser's Office directly for questions or to appeal.
