How it works
How to appeal your property taxes in Wyandotte County.
- Step 1
Check your savings
Enter your address and pay $5. We check your Wyandotte County assessment against recent nearby sales.
- Step 2
Order the appraisal
A desktop appraisal valued as of your assessment date, with the $5 credited. Complex homes get one exact quote.
- Step 3

Walk through on your phone so the appraiser sees its condition. A desktop appraisal needs no visit.

File your appeal
A state-licensed KS appraiser signs it, with a cover letter and filing steps. You file by your deadline, and the state Board of Tax Appeals (BOTA) hears your case.
The evidence
Boards act on value, not frustration.
However Kansas labels the process, the case underneath is the same: show what your home was actually worth on the assessment date. A licensed, USPAP-compliant appraisal, with comparable sales, documented adjustments and a signed opinion of value, is that showing.
What the appraisal gives you
- Valued as of your assessment date, not today
- Comparable sales with adjustments and citations
- Signed by a state-licensed KS appraiser
- A phone walkthrough; a desktop appraisal needs no visit
- Starting search in Wyandotte County: 3+ comparable sales within ~1 mi, sold within 12 months
Search settings are starting points for the appraiser, not universal filing requirements. The appraiser selects appropriate evidence for the assignment.

The process
How Kansas handles appeals.
Kansas property is valued by the county appraiser as of January 1, with change-of-value notices mailed by March 1. The first step is an informal meeting with the appraiser’s office, requested within 30 days of the notice — many cases settle right there. If not, the appeal moves to the state Board of Tax Appeals, whose small claims division handles homeowner cases without courtroom formality. Kansas’s safety valve is unusual: miss the spring window and you can pay your December taxes under protest to trigger the same review — but you get one route per year, not both.
Worth knowing in Kansas
Either path ends in the same question — what the home was worth on January 1 — and hearing officers weigh adjusted comparable sales, the working contents of a licensed appraisal, over listing printouts. Data errors (wrong square footage, a basement finish you don’t have) are fair game too; ask for your property record card at the informal meeting.
