Why is the County Appraiser's Office asking me for my income and expense information and am I required to give it to them?

The County Appraiser's Office asks for Income and Expense information from businesses within the county to help analyze what is happening locally in the market for income producing properties. It give us an indication of the expenses and vacancy rate which we use in our income approach to valuation model. Per state guidance the Appraiser's Office is required to send out income and expense questionnaire. The taxpayer is not required to return them but it will help in providing us with vital data to use in our Income Approach. All returned Income and Expense information is Confidential and will handled with complete privacy and are not subject to an open records request (K.S.A 45-221 (55)(b))
