Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why is another organization collecting
property taxes for my county?
A. The Information Network
of Kansas (INK) is acting as an agent of your county. INK will collect payment
and demographic information for the taxes before passing that along to the county.
Q. Why is there a fee charged to
use this service?
A. The Kansas County Treasurers Association and INK, a
state agency, have partnered to create this application for no cost to the county.
At no time were any tax dollars used to create this application. The transaction
fee allows INK to recuperate their costs associated in building and maintaining
the application without any charges being passed on to the county.
Q. Is the application secure?
A. INK has dealt in online government transactions since
1992. In fact, INK created e-government. Since our inception, we have handled
millions of dollars worth of e-government transactions.
Q. Can others access my property
tax records?
A. According to Kansas law, all property tax records are
open public information. However, unless a user of this system has the appropriate
information (i.e. statement number, parcel number, etc.) they will not be able
to access the records within this system. The intent of this online tax payment
system is for tax payments--it is not intended to disclose property tax records.
Anybody wanting that information will need to request it in person or writing
from his or her local county treasurer's office.
Q. Can I pay delinquent taxes online?
A. No. Please contact your local county treasurer's office
for a payoff amount, which would need to be remitted in person or by mail.
