Mortgage Co., Title Co., Taxing Service

If you are a mortgage company, title company, or taxing service and you did not receive a tax bill for a parcel or parcels you are paying on, please print off a bill and send in with the appropriate payment amount. The Johnson County Treasurer can electronically process this bill. If you do not send in this bill or the original bill with your tax payment, but choose instead to send a self-generated (memo) bill or no bill at all, the County Treasurer will charge a $5 per parcel duplicate bill fee to cover administrative costs.

Fee Policy

JOHNSON COUNTY, KANSAS

The Johnson County Treasurer’s Office announces that effective October 1, 1999, the new fee schedule per parcel will be as follows:

TAX VERIFICATION DUPLICATE BILLS PAYMENT ERROR

Tax Verification	Duplicate Bills	Payment Error
$5.00	$5.00	$50.00

We regret any inconvenience this may cause, but this fee increase is needed to help offset additional administrative expenses caused by the overwhelming number of requests for tax information, as well as the research time needed to correct erroneous payments.

Accessing tax information through one of the following methods can mitigate or eliminate these fees:

Our Internet Web Site, View Tax Bill, provides an Internet Tax Bill for the annual tax amount of each parcel. The bill will reflect payments of taxes (allow 24 hours for payment to post) and show the balance due. It will also reflect any changes in the tax amount due to any supplemental taxes, or any abatement of taxes. This bill includes any applicable interest and fees that may have accrued. The online tax bill is designed to be processed by our lockbox processing service.
Free, unlimited use of public access terminals available in the Treasurer’s Office in the Johnson County Administration building. These terminals allow access to the most current tax information available. We will assist anyone wishing to learn how to access tax information via these terminals.
The Johnson County Information Network (JCIN), available via the Internet, provides the most current tax information available for a nominal fee. JCIN is the most viable, cost-effective means of information gathering for those unable to utilize the public access terminals. If you would like more information regarding JCIN, please contact Paul Null at (913) 715-0782.

Should you decide not to utilize these alternatives, we ask that you e-mail or fax your tax verification or duplicate bill requests to the Treasurer’s Office. All e-mail requests should be sent to taxinfo@jocogov.org. Please be specific as to the type of information you want verified for each parcel. We will only be responsible for returning the requested tax information based on the original information sent to our office. The Treasurer’s Office will send you an invoice detailing type of charge and number of parcels requested at the end of each month.

If you have any questions regarding these fees or would like more information about the alternatives available, please contact the Treasurer’s Office at (913) 715-2600.

If the mortgage is paid off or refinanced, it is the mortgage company's responsibility to notify the Treasurer's office.
