| First hearing body | Informal meeting with the county appraiser (a required first step); then the county hearing officer or panel, or the State Board of Tax Appeals (BOTA) Small Claims and Expedited Hearings Division |
| Who may represent you | The county holds the informal meeting with the owner or the representative of the property owner (Kansas Department of Revenue informal appeal checklist, K.S.A. 79-1448 / 79-1496) |
The informal meeting is a condition precedent to an appeal to the county or district hearing panel. Per K.S.A. 79-1448 as summarised by the Kansas Department of Revenue, the county appraiser shall not increase the appraised valuation as a result of the informal meeting. An appeal to BOTA Small Claims must be filed within 30 days from the date the informal meeting results were mailed, and Sedgwick County notes filing fees may apply for BOTA appeals. All property is valued annually as of January 1 (KDOR guide).
What wins in Kansas
Homes are argued on comparable sales and uniformity. Income property is argued on the income approach — rent roll, expenses, and a supported cap rate. The packet builds the argument that matches your property type, with your evidence organised as exhibits.
