Sedgwick County, Kansas Appraiser's Office
Boat & Watercraft Registrations

Who needs to file?

Anyone purchasing a boat and/or trailer located or registered in Sedgwick County as of January 1st must file a Personal Property rendition with the Appraiser's Office each year, per Kansas Statute 79-303 and 79-306.  Watercraft will be prorated from the time it was purchased or sold.  A description and a location of the boat/trailer must be included on the form.

How do I file? 

When you purchase a boat and/or trailer you should submit a personal property form within 30 days.  These forms are not automatically sent to you.  NOTE:  If you have filed a form for a boat, each year a new form will be mailed to you for verification or changes.

Are there any filing deadlines?

Per Kansas Statute 79-306, the deadline for rendering personal property is March 15th of each year.  To avoid incurring state mandated penalties, renditions must be filed by the deadline date.  Counties have no authority to abate, waive, or refund the penalty mandated by K.S.A. 79-1422.  Only the Board of Tax Appeals has the authority to abate, waive, or refund the penalty.

If you have questions pertaining to Personal Property renditions, you may contact the Sedgwick County Appraiser's Office Information & Assistance Division at (316) 660-9110.  If the watercraft is already listed on a rendition, you may also file your personal property rendition on-line by clicking here.
