Geary County Appraiser Travis Lilly told the commission on Feb. 23 that the county's change‑of‑value notices have been sent to the printer and should be mailed before March 1, 2026. He said the bulk increase in values is in the 3–6% range though some neighborhoods will see lower changes; he estimated the average increase around 1%.
Lilly explained that the valuation date is Jan. 1, and any changes such as fires after that date do not affect the Jan. 1 valuation. He reminded taxpayers that the appeal window runs 30 days from the postmark on the notice; because mailings are scheduled before March 1, appeals will be accepted through March 29, 2026. He also noted pending legislation regarding property taxes that could affect future valuation processes.
What happens next: Notices will be mailed and county staff will accept appeals within the posted window. Taxpayers seeking to appeal should watch for the mailed notice and use the 30‑day postmark window to submit documentation.
