Johnson County appraiser seeks correction after BOTA classification change for Overland Park property

Johnson County Appraiser's Office asked the Board of County Commissioners to authorize a clerical correction to the 2024 tax roll for a commercial property at 13500 Antioch Road in Overland Park.

Carolyn Logan, representing the appraiser’s office, told the board the Board of Tax Appeals issued an order in November 2024 that changed the property's classification. "We got the no value change correct, but we missed the data entry on the classification change," Logan said. She said the correction results in "an assessment difference of 243,000."

The clerk read the agenda item as a request to "consider authorizing the county appraiser's office to make an appraisal correction to the 2024 tax roll for commercial real estate pursuant to K.S.A. 79-1701a." The presentation identified the error as clerical and the requested remedy as an administrative correction to the county's records.

Commissioner Ashcraft asked whether the error favored the county or the taxpayer; Logan answered it was "the taxpayer's favor." The item was presented during the board's agenda review and was scheduled to return for formal action at the board's business session.

No formal motion or vote was recorded during the agenda review; the item was informational and will appear on the June 5, 2025 agenda for action.
