Kansas homeowners are encouraged to rely on official information from the Kansas Department of Revenue, the Sedgwick County Appraiser’s Office and the Sedgwick County Treasurer’s Office. The county also encouraged homeowners to consult tax professionals with questions about their individual tax situations.
