Anna Berson, of the Riley County appraiser's office, demonstrated new online tools for property owners that include a parcel search, direct links to parcel and tax reports, a comparable-sales feature for appeal preparation and a tax-distribution summary showing how a tax bill is divided among entities.
Berson said the office mailed 2026 change-of-value notices Feb. 25 and that property owners had until March 26 to request informal appeals; the office must mail statutorily required result letters by May 15 and certify certain records by June. She also summarized staffing, training and the appeals workload.
Why it matters: the digital tools aim to increase transparency and reduce staff workload by allowing property owners to access value notices and tax-distribution details online, including a heat-map of site usage and a comparable-sales tool available during appeal windows.
What's next: the appraiser's office will continue informal appeals and expects to certify necessary records to the clerk as required by statute.
