The Labette County Commissioners signed a contract submitted by the Kansas Department of Revenue, Division of Property Valuation at Monday’s county commission meeting. “The contract provides us for a fee with a state appraiser to sign off on specific documents while we search for a new appraiser,” Commissioner Lonie Addis said. This is something we have to do, he said. Addis has submitted a letter from the Labette County Commission for this assistance. The state appraiser assigned is Lawrence (Larry) Reynolds. He is also filling in for Montgomery County since their appraiser passed away.
“I foresee little change in the current operations of the appraiser’s office during this interim period. I am still acting as chairman to oversee the operations of that department,” Addis said.
The county is looking for an appraiser to fill the position left by LeRoy Burk who resigned last month.
