On Tuesday, the Reno County appraiser, Michael Plank, explained to Reno County Commissioners how valuations are calculated and why residents saw increases this year. Appraisers are responsible for discovering, listing and valuing all real and tangible property within their jurisdiction within certain exemptions for oil and gas, public utilities and some personal property. County appraisal offices must comply with Kansas statutes. Plank explained that his office follows all state statutes. “Like any other county employee, the appraiser is a public servant; we’re working for the good of the taxpayer to place fair and equal values on real and personal property,” he said.
