Brief(1)
S.B. 9 would amend K.S.A. 79-1476 to decelerate from four to six years the amount of time county appraisers have to physically inspect each parcel of real estate. County appraisers would be deemed to be in compliance with the statute when 17 percent of the parcels are inspected in any given year.
Background
Nothing in the bill changes the requirement that all real estate is to be reappraised annually.
The bill was supported by the Kansas County Appraisers Association and the Kansas Association of Counties. Similar legislation was approved by the Senate in 1998.
