Coffey County board notifies state of county appraiser vacancy and discusses interim appointment
Summary
The board voted to notify the Kansas Department of Revenue that the county appraiser will not complete the term (effective 08/31/2026) and discussed appointing an interim appraiser under state rules (interim up to six months) while the county considers full‑time or shared options.
The Coffey County Board of Commissioners voted to submit a notification to the Kansas Department of Revenue that the current county appraiser will not hold the office for the remainder of the appointed term, effective Aug. 31, 2026.
County staff had provided a packet from the state with the required notification form, a sample interim appointment resolution, and statutes governing interim appraisers and qualifications. Commissioners discussed whether to advertise for a full‑time appraiser or pursue a shared/part‑time arrangement with another county. The board agreed it preferred a full‑time appraiser if a qualified candidate can be found, but left shared options on the table and directed staff to prepare the interim notification and to begin advertising and interview planning. The board scheduled interviews and follow-up discussion for the next meeting cycle.
