County treasurer: tax bills mailed, new paperless option and homestead-credit info included
Summary
Sedgwick County Treasurer Brandy Bailey told commissioners that tax bills were mailed Nov. 26, described a new QR-code 'go paperless' registration option, and highlighted homestead and veteran refund opportunities. Residents who did not receive a bill were asked to contact the Treasurer's Office.
Sedgwick County Treasurer Brandy Bailey told the Board of County Commissioners on Dec. 4 that tax bills were mailed Nov. 26 and that residents who have not received theirs should contact the Treasurer's Office for replacement.
"If you have not received them yet, please reach out to my office," Bailey said, noting that seven trays of returned mail had been received and several more were expected. She said a new "go paperless" option has been implemented: taxpayers can scan a QR code printed on the bill and enter a registration code specific to their bill to receive future bills electronically.
Bailey also said the bill inserts explain recent solid-waste fee changes and list payment options, and she identified three homestead/assistance options for qualifying residents, including a senior and disabled-veteran refund and a homestead tax credit. "The first 0.5 is due December 20 and the 2nd 0.5 is due on May 10," she said. Commissioners asked the office to publicize application windows and eligibility more widely, and communications staff said links and guidance will be posted to sedgwickcounty.gov and shared on social media.
Why it matters: the county indicated the notice contains both operational details (how to pay) and program information (homestead and refund opportunities) that may materially reduce tax burdens for eligible seniors and veterans. The Treasurer's Office encouraged residents with address changes to update their contact information so bills reach them.
