Estimate a bill and check your assessment

Census survey estimates, 2020–2024. These county medians describe a survey population; they do not establish your home’s correct assessment.

Median home value
$203,300
Median annual taxes paid
$2,461
Estimated effective rate
1.21%

Census home values, Census taxes paid. Last verified 2026-10-24. Rate = median taxes ÷ median home value. Displayed rates are rounded; calculations use the unrounded ratio.

Example at $203,300: $2,461 per year, using the Census estimate.

Is my assessment too high?

At the default market value and bill, both equal the county medians. Being above a median does not establish overassessment. Assessed or taxable values may use a different basis and cannot be compared directly with Census market values.

Appeal timing and filing

File within 30 days of the mailing date printed on the valuation notice.

How to file: Submit the valuation-notice appeal form to the Sedgwick County Appraiser’s Office or request an appeal in the Smart File portal.

State guidance: Single-family residential appeals must go through BOTA's Small Claims division before the full state Board of Tax Appeals.
