Johnson County Appraiser David “Beau” Boisvert announced his retirement during a Johnson County Board of County Commissioners meeting today. The BOCC action included accepting his retirement letter, creating an Appraiser Screening Committee to work with a search firm and present finalists to the full Board and naming Deputy County Appraiser Kara Endicott as Interim County Appraiser.

Boisvert was appointed as appraiser for Johnson County on Feb. 6, 2020. In his role, he managed a staff of around 80 employees and records for more than 233,600 parcels with a 2024 valuation of approximately $129.2 billion.

Boisvert’s accomplishments include implementing several improvements and modernizations within the Appraiser’s Office to conduct their business more efficiently, to the benefit of the community and staff in that office. This includes reorganizing the office, introducing cross-training for their appraisers and launching a new web portal to make the county’s appraisal appeal process more convenient.

“I’m grateful to Beau for his service to Johnson County,” said Mike Kelly, chairman of the Johnson County Board of County Commissioners. “Being a county appraiser in an area experiencing growth and development can be a challenge, and I commend Beau for his transparent and collaborative approach.” 

Boisvert is a member of the International Association of Assessing Officers and serves on its education committee. He also was honored in Cambridge University’s “Who’s Who of Executives and Professionals” and by the State Bar Association of Arizona, Tax Law Section, as its Outstanding Public Service Employee. His prior professional experience includes appraiser leadership roles with Yavapai County and Maricopa County, both in Arizona, as well as providing assessment consultations for several jurisdictions.

“I have enjoyed the opportunity to serve in Johnson County and to work with the staff in my office,” Boisvert said.

Boisvert’s last day will be Jan. 24, 2025. Incoming Interim County Appraiser Endicott has more than 25 years of experience working in Johnson County and recently received a Presidential Citation from IAAO.

Even though, by statute, the BOCC is responsible for appointing the county appraiser, the county appraiser actually performs the professional duties and responsibilities under the direction of the Kansas State Director of Property Valuation, following the standards and guidelines prescribed by Kansas statutes and utilizing professional appraisal standards and practices.
