(KNZA)--The Brown County Appraiser’s Office is starting a data reinspection of properties in the northwest part of the counnty this month.  The area being inspected stretches from 220th Street north to the Kansas State line, and from Kestrel Road west to the Nemaha County line.

The office is required by the State of Kansas to physically inspect one-sixth of the county each year, ensuring that all properties are re-inspected within a six-year cycle.

Appraiser staff will go door-to-door to interview residents about their property, measure structures including decks, porches, and patios, and take exterior photos. If no one is home, or only children under 18 are present, a door hanger will be left for residents to complete and mail back to the office.

Staff will be driving a black Jeep with official Appraiser’s Office signage and will be wearing photo ID badges.

For questions, residents can contact the Appraiser’s Office at 785-742-7232, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The Brown County Appraiser’s Office thanks all residents for their cooperation during this process.
