Kansas property tax appeals, 2027
In Kansas, you appeal a property assessment to the County Appraiser, then BOTA Small Claims and Expedited Hearings Division, and the deadline is 30 days after the valuation notice is mailed. Each county below lists its own date, how to file and who hears the appeal. Sale prices are not public record in Kansas, so evidence leans on the county’s own data, listings and independent appraisals.
