LEGAL NOTICE
Results of the Market Study Analysis for Cherokee County for the Assessment Year 2025
January 1, 2025-Pursuant to K.S.A. 79-1460a.
A study of the residential and commercial real estate market, and vacant land in Cherokee County, indicated that there was an overall inflationary trend of 4%.
Values on specific properties may not follow the general trend because of changes in the property, correction of the descriptive information, specific neighborhood sales data, or adjustment and equalization of values based on sales of similar properties.
The Cherokee County Appraiser’s Office thanks you for the opportunity to serve our great county.
