Affected by the recent wildfire? You may be relieved of all or partial property taxes on dwellings where damaged occurred.
According to Statute KSA 79-1613, the County Commission may issue an abatement of all or partial property taxes on dwellings where damage occurred during a natural disaster and would exceed more than 50% of the market value of the dwelling.
If the dwelling was not completely destroyed, you will also need to include two quotes from reputable contractors with the cost to repair the damage. The Appraiser’s office will determine if the damage to the property meets the requirements set by statute KSA 79-1613 and will then send the application to the Reno County Commission for approval. If you have any questions about the process, please do not hesitate to the Appraiser's Office at 620-694-2772.
