Paying Taxes Under Protest

The property owner may wish to pay their tax bill under protest, if they believe their taxes were calculated incorrectly or the property values used by the Appraiser are not correct.  Contact the County Treasurer for the appropriate form.  The form must be completed and submitted to the County Treasurer's Office when a payment is made.  You will then be contacted by the Appraiser's Office to set a date and time for your hearing to discuss the valuation of your property.  If you do not agree with the results from this meeting, you may appeal to the Court of Tax Appeals.  (KSA 79-2005)

NOTE:  Property owners may appeal the value of their property only once during any tax year (KSA 79-2005b)  either by appealing the Change of Value Notice or by Payment Under Protest.
