-
K.S.A. 2025 Supp. 79-1460
the valuation for all residential real property also shall not be increased by more than 15%, excluding increases due to new construction, unless the county appraiser first conducts a new physical inspection of such property pursuant to this paragraph and considers the findings of such inspection.→ A physical inspection pursuant to this paragraph shall include, but not be limited to, an on-site personal observation and review of all exterior portions of the land and any buildings and improvements to which the county has or may reasonably and lawfully gain external access, and an observation and review of the interior of any buildings or improvements on the property upon the timely request of the taxpayer.This change formalizes the requirement for a new physical inspection of residential properties before any significant increase in valuation.
