PERMITS FOR PROPERTY CHANGES

PERMITS MAY BE OFFICIAL, HAVING BEEN ISSUED BY A GOVERNING ENTITY or UNOFFICIAL, HAVING BEEN LISTED WITH THE APPRAISER VIA OTHER REPORTING METHODS.

THE NEOSHO COUNTY APPRAISER’S OFFICE STAFF WILL PERIODICALLY STOP TO CHECK ON THE STATUS OF ANY PERMIT LISTED IN OUR SYSTEM THAT INDICATES SOME CHANGES ARE BEING MADE TO A PROPERTY.   THE PERMIT MAY HAVE BEEN ISSUED BY THE TAXPAYERS CITY, NEOSHO COUNTY, OR ACTIVITY MAY HAVE BEEN NOTICED DURING A REGULAR DRIVE-BY, OR NEIGHBOR CALL-IN, OR MAY HAVE BEEN SELF-REPORTED.

IF THE PERMIT INDICATES EXTERIOR CHANGES, AND THE APPRAISER’S OFFICE STAFF CAN SEE THAT THE CHANGES ARE COMPLETED, PHOTOS WILL BE TAKEN ALONG WITH NEW MEASUREMENTS (if necessary), AND THE PERMIT WILL BE CLOSED OUT.  ADJUSTMENTS MAY BE MADE DEPENDING ON THE CHANGES BEING MADE.

IF THE PERMIT INDICATES INTERIOR CHANGES THAT CANNOT BE CONFIRMED BY THE APPRAISER, IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONTACT THE APPRAISER’S OFFICE TO LET THEM KNOW IF UPDATES/ADDITIONS/CHANGES ARE COMPLETED OR HAVE BEEN CANCELLED. *IT IS GENERALLY ASSUMED THAT MOST UPDATES ARE FINISHED WITHIN A YEAR OF THE ISSUING OF A PERMIT AND ADJUSTMENTS MAY BE APPLIED WITHOUT CONFIRMATION IN SOME INSTANCES WHEN NO CONTACT CAN BE ACHIEVED.

IN ALL INSTANCES, IF OUR STAFF ENTERS ONTO YOUR PROPERTY AND CONTACT CANNOT BE MADE, A FLYER WILL BE LEFT INDICATING WHY WE STOPPED. 

PLEASE CALL 620-244-3821 IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
