The Appraiser’s Office is responsible for the listing and appraisal of all personal property and real estate for taxation in Doniphan County. The three approaches to valuation (cost, income, and comparable sales) are used to value the real estate except for agricultural land. It is valued using an 8-year average of prices, yields, landlord expenses and a capitalization rate determined by local information as well as information from the division of property valuation. Personal property is valued using a trending factor and an economic life with the appropriate tables furnished by the division of property valuation.
The Appraiser’s office also maintains the mapping system of all the parcels in the county with an aerial photography base.
In 1995 Doniphan County adopted and implemented a Neighborhood Revitalization program. Individuals and companies participating in this program must file their application with the Appraiser’s office. The appraiser makes a recommendation on the application, and if approved, starts the process of issuing refunds on the project(s) over a ten-year period of time. This program was originally passed for 3 years (1996-1998) and has since been renewed and will expire in December 31, 2023.

How do I appeal my county valuation?
If you believe the county’s value does not reflect the fair market value of your property on January 1, you should appeal. The appeals process is an opportunity to review a property in more detail. We all want values to be accurate so we have a fair basis for sharing the cost of local services. You are welcome to request information about how your property was valued from the county appraiser’s office in order to determine whether you should appeal.
Taxpayers can formally appeal their value one time per year, and have the opportunity to file the appeal up to two (2) times per year.
Taxpayers can appeal their value:
Within 30 days from the date the county mailed the change of value notice in March
To file equalization appeal contact County Appraisers Office
When you pay your taxes. This is called a Payment Under Protest. You can either pay under protest when the first half is paid, when the second half is paid, or when the taxes are paid in full. If your taxes are paid in full by an escrow or tax service agent on or before December 20, you have until January 31 of the next year to file the payment under protest.
Fill out the Payment Under Protest Appeal Form in Treasurers Office when paying taxes
How much would my taxes be on a new building?
Depends on the type of building, its use, its size, your location
Example: A property owner in Washington Township states they are going to erect a pole building for around $20,000 to be used for farm machinery. Formula: $20,000 x 25% (ag improvement assessed rate) = $5000 (assessed value) $5000 x .111817 (mill levy in Washington Township) = $559.085 taxes
What do I do with the document in the yellow envelope I received in the mail?
That is your personal property rendition. It is mailed the first week of January every year. It needs to be reviewed, if any changes need to be made to the personal property items listed or any new items need to be listed, make all the necessary corrections on the sheet. Sign & date the first page, then mail or deliver it back to the Appraiser’s office before March 15th . Even if no changes need to be made it is mandatory you return the signed rendition to prevent a tax penalty.
