HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County will have its County Appraiser as of Tuesday.
"The County Commission will adopt a resolution appointing Michael Plank as the new County Appraiser for Reno County," said County Administrator Randy Partington. "He comes here from Olathe. He was with the Johnson County Appraiser's Office for a number of years."
Plank's LinkedIn profile says he has served with Johnson County as a Residential Real Estate Appraiser since 2014. The state has a significant role to play when a County Appraiser is hired.
"They have a list of qualified appraisers in the state of Kansas," Partington said. "The counties have to choose from someone that's on that list. The Property Valuation Division and Department of Revenue oversees pretty much all the County Appraisers and then they do audits and they score the various appraisers so that we're in compliance so that it is consistent."
Plank has been a Registered Mass Appraiser with the state since 2019 and he will start once he's approved on Tuesday.
