Johnson County Records and Tax Administration, in cooperation with the Appraiser’s Office, Treasury and Financial Management and AIMS, is moving to new tax roll software. As part of this process, we will convert tax roll data from the existing application to the new application. This process will take about three to four weeks and will begin Aug. 1. Please check this homepage for updates or changes to the schedule. During this time our web-sites will not display current property, valuation changes and tax payments made or collected during this time. That information may be obtained by contacting the RTA Call Center by phone at 913-715-0775 or email to rtacallcenter@jocogov.org. Thank you for your cooperation.

FAQ about Digital Imaging Project
Updated January 4, 2017
Why are you doing this project?
Kansas state statute requires that counties update property information every six years to maintain accurate data on every parcel of land in the county. High resolution photos taken in this manner ensure that our office is appraising properties in the most effective and fair way possible.
How does it work?
We contracted with a company called Tyler Technologies who are experts in this field. Their field staff will photograph the front of every building, such as homes, stores, office buildings, gazebos…every structure that has value.
Staff will take photographs from public right-of-way, as opposed to privately owned property, whenever they can.
What’s being done to make sure Johnson County residents understand what the white vans are doing?
White vans will be clearly marked with signs indicating they are conducting an imaging and address verification project for the county. All staff assigned to this project will have photo identification badges and we’ve created flyers for them to hand out if someone has a question.
In addition to letting the media know, we sent a note to public information contacts in all of the cities in Johnson County, asking them to pass on the information to law enforcement in case they get questions from their constituents.
How can I find out when these vans will be in my area?
Each week, the Appraiser’s Office will post the crew’s schedule at www.jocogov.org/countypropertyphotoproject so residents can check and see if the vans are in their area.
Are you able to blur out people or items from these pictures?
For residential parcels crews will not take pictures with homeowners or children, but will return later to capture the image. For commercial parcels or when contractors are on residential parcels we will try to minimize the number of people in the shot.
All attempts will be made not to capture license plates as long as the image can be composed to meet the criteria for the project.
Once the images are published on our website, any concerns on a specific photo can be called into our office and we can make corrections on a case by case basis. We don’t have a process in place to blur out every adult nor items such as open garage doors or license plates with the initially captured images.
How much is this costing?
On Dec. 3 the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) authorized a contract for this project with a cost not to exceed $483,000. Again, Kansas state statute requires that counties update property information every six years to maintain accurate data on every parcel of land in the county.
How long will this project take?
There are approximately 187,000 parcels in the county with structures, some of which will require multiple images.The project should take several months to complete.
We will not shoot images with snow on the ground or when the leaves on the trees return obstructing many of the structures. If weather conditions prevent capturing all the images before leaf on, we will suspend the shoot until the fall of 2016.

Appraiser’s Office restarts property imaging project
JOHNSON COUNTY, Kan. — A property imaging project that began in January 2016, and was put on hold because of foliage issues in June, resumes today countywide.
The Appraiser’s Office has contracted Tyler Technologies Inc. to capture high-resolution, street-level photos of the exterior of every county property. Johnson County officials uses the photos to create land record information used in the appraisal process.
Kansas law requires counties to update property information every six years to maintain accurate data on every parcel in the jurisdiction.
“The appraisal process is built on fair, equitable property values, and this imaging project allows us to record the most accurate assessments,” said county appraiser Paul Welcome. “This project provides us high-quality images of every house, commercial building and every other structure with value on the county’s 187,000 parcels of land.”
Tyler Technologies field staff will photograph properties from customized white vans that will be clearly marked to indicate staff are conducting an imaging and address verification for the county.
All personnel assigned to this project will have photo ID badges and will take images from public right-of-ways whenever possible.
Imaging crews are expected to be in the area for several months and they will be in constant communication with county officials during the project.
The Appraiser’s Office will post the crew’s schedules online. For more information, visit jocogov.org/appraiser or call 913-715-9000.
JOHNSON COUNTY, Kan. — The Appraiser’s Office will mail approximately 23,000 rendition forms to Johnson County property owners, businesses and oil and gas accounts on Dec. 31. Rendition forms are used to value taxable personal property.
Property owners are required by law to provide a listing of tangible personal property that is owned or leased, as of the first day of January, per Kansas statute K.S.A. 79-303.
Examples of commercial personal property that must be reported include manufacturing equipment, computers, telephone systems, copy machines, shelving and racks, and plant machinery. Examples of individual personal property include recreational vehicles, boats, motors, trailers, heavy trucks, mobile homes, off-road vehicles, four-wheelers and aircraft.
The filing requirement does not apply to the following:
March 15 is the deadline for personal property owners to return renditions to the Johnson County Appraiser’s Office. Late filing penalties will apply to renditions received after March 15.
Property owners who do not receive a rendition form or who have questions are advised to contact the Appraiser’s Office at 913-715-9000.
