Useful offices

Lyon County · property valuation and assessment
Start here with assessed-value and property-valuation questions. The Appraiser is a different contact from the Treasurer for tax-account questions and the Register of Deeds for recorded land documents.
Lyon County · property-tax account questions
Use the Treasurer’s official page to ask about a parcel’s tax bill, payment status, or unpaid balance. Tax-account questions are separate from assessed value and deed records.
Lyon County · deeds and land records
The county identifies this office as the contact for deeds and land records. Use it for recorded-document questions; it is not the office for assessed values or tax balances.
A court judgment is a different record from a deed. For a judgment mentioned in case papers or a notice, follow the court identified there and ask a title professional which record applies to the property.
Helpful Kansas rule
Kansas does not charge a real-estate transfer tax or deed tax. The state's mortgage registration tax ended on January 1, 2019.
State law sets recording fees at $21 for the first page of a deed or mortgage and $17 for each additional page. The rates are the same in every county, but the number of recorded pages changes the total. Ask the title company or closing professional to confirm the exact recording charges for your documents.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs. This does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or your share of current property taxes.
