Appraiser's Office

The Greenwood County Appraiser’s Office values property for local Ad Valorem (property) tax purposes. The office also determines taxable location and ownership. Agricultural land is based on Agricultural Use Value. Kansas law requires that property be appraised at its market value on January 1 of each year. The Appraiser’s Office determines market value through the use of generally accepted appraisal methods. The office also has a GIS/mapping section that provides mapping services and address requests. These services are for county and public use.
