Live in Atchison Ks. They increase the Value of our homes, thus taxes increase. Without house improvement , the value goes up, so taxes increase!!

Bottom line is the county spending. Those county leaders must be held accountable for their budgets.

I'm a 76 year old senior/widow in Topeka and have downgraded to a duplex with almost no yard.....

Yet, my property taxes are almost $5000. They are going to 'spend' us into not being able to afford to live. What is going on? Is there no end to the run-away spending?

Your story is very similar to many that I have heard. My own mother’s property tax has doubled in the last 5 years, mostly due to property evaluations. The county leaders must be held accountable for their spending.
