How it works
Residential property in Sedgwick County is appraised at market value as of January 1. Kansas law applies a residential assessment rate of 11.5% to that market value to determine assessed value. Property tax is then estimated by applying the combined local mill levy to the assessed value. The total mill levy reflects rates set by the county, the city where the property is located, the relevant school district, and other local taxing subdivisions, which means the combined rate can vary by location within the county.
Examples
If a residential property has a market value of 300,000, the assessed value is calculated by multiplying that amount by 11.5%. The combined local mill levy is then applied to that assessed value to estimate annual property tax. Two residential properties with the same market value may have different estimated taxes if they are located in different cities or school districts within Sedgwick County.
Limitations and important notes
This is an estimated residential property tax calculation, not an official tax bill. It models only residential property using the 11.5% assessment rate and does not apply commercial, industrial, or other property class assessment rates. The combined mill levy varies by city, school district, and special district, and exemptions or special valuation programs may apply depending on eligibility. Actual tax amounts may differ.

Is this the exact amount shown on my tax bill?
No. This tool provides an estimated annual residential property tax based on market value and a combined local mill levy.
Why can residential tax amounts differ within Sedgwick County?
Different properties are located in different cities, school districts, and special districts. Each of these taxing entities sets its own mill levy, which affects the combined rate applied to assessed value.
Are exemptions included in this estimate?
No specific exemption programs are automatically applied. Eligibility for exemptions or special valuation depends on property use and ownership, and results may differ from an official tax statement.
