Ag land values decrease slightly
agri County Ag ValueChange 2016
Agricultural land values in 66 Kansas counties, including all of the Golden Belt, may decrease slightly from property valuations recently sent out, depending on the property’s soil type.Valuations on some property for tax year 2016 could decrease by as much as $3 an acre, due to a clerical error in Topeka. Because this is a decrease in property value, counties are not required to send out a second notice.Barton County Appraiser Barb Esfeld said her office did send out nearly 2,000 corrected notices on April 18 for all land affected in Barton County. Values in Barton County only saw a decrease of $1-2 on some soil types.
