Welcome to the Finney County Appraisal Office 

Mission

To provide uniform, fair and equitable values among all classes of property by maintaining the highest standards in appraisal practices and law, guided by the goals of quality customer service to the public, while providing a work environment that encourages staff's professional and personal growth.

Vision

To be a recognized leader for providing fair and equitable mass appraisals of both real and personal property, along with providing accurate and comprehensive information to the citizens and taxpayers of Finney County in a preeminently accountable, effective, and efficient manner.

An appraisal is a method established by Kansas statute to determine a property owner's share of taxes that support schools, roads, health and human service programs, parks, and police and fire protection. The County Appraiser is responsible for discovering, listing, and uniformly valuing property.   

Routine work will continue throughout Finney County, such as the review of recent sale properties and parcels with building permits.

Finney County Appraiser's Office personnel can be identified by Finney County photo identification badges and will be driving vehicles marked with the Finney County logo.

Property owners with questions may contact the Finney County Appraiser's Office at 620-272-3517.  

Remember, the Appraiser's Office does not set taxes. The amount you pay depends on the budgets set by your governing bodies - such as the state, county, and school districts.

Finney County Personal Property Appraisers have sent out assessment forms also known as "Property Worksheets" the first week of January 2023. This form will be on pink colored paper for individual or gold for commercial accounts. If you have not received yours please contact our office. 

According to Kansas Statute:

• K.S.A. 79-303: "Every person, association, company or corporation who shall own or hold, subject to his or her control, any tangible personal property shall list the said property for assessment."
• K.S.A. 79-301: "All tangible personal property subject to taxation shall be listed and assessed as of the first day of January of each year in the name of the owner thereof."

Remember: It is your responsibility to file this information with the County Appraiser's Office. If you own any tangible personal property with the intent to establish and/or operate a business (including home-based business), or if you own any recreational property or vehicles not taxed at the time of registration, or mobile homes not on a permanent foundation, you must file a rendition with the County Appraiser's Office.
