County Treasurer

My Local Taxes - how are they used?

Your Sedgwick County Tax Bill

If you own a home, land or business in Sedgwick County, you receive a “Sedgwick County Property Tax Bill” from the Treasurer – some of you may pay your half-payments in full, in May and December; others pay their tax bill as part of their mortgage payments each month.

However, just because you pay your property taxes TO Sedgwick County does NOT mean Sedgwick County keeps all that money. Instead, only about 25 cents out of every dollar goes to fund County services. The remainder goes to the state, cities, school districts, townships or other special districts based on your property address.

To help you understand more about how your total property taxes are used, we have developed a quick way for you to see where the dollars go to support different government jurisdictions, and how the Sedgwick County portion is used for county services. On the “My Local Taxes” application, you will find two sources of information: Your Total Taxes by Jurisdiction and your Sedgwick County Taxes at Work. And all you need is your address to find out!
