HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The total valuation of the 10 most valuable companies in Reno County eclipsed the $100 million mark in 2020.
The Reno County Clerk's Office released the 100 highest property taxpayers list for 2020. Evergy, formally known as Westar, saw its value in the county increase by more than $11.6 million to $52.2 million. Total property taxes levied for the year was $8.1 million.
BNSF, the nation's second-largest railroad, was next on the list at $11 million with total taxes of $1.7 million; and Panhandle Eastern followed at $9.5 million with a total property tax bill of $1.3 million. The top 10 properties paid out a total of $17.2 million in property taxes. The list does not include Siemens, but that will all change next year when the wind turbine maker goes on the books after a 10-year property tax abatement that was used as an incentive to come to Hutchinson.
Some of the other notable companies in the area:
Ark Valley Electric COOP ranked 11th at $2.5 million.
Tyson Prepared Foods was 18th at $1.8 million.
Kuhn Kraus was 21st at $1.7 million.
IdeaTek was 26th at $1.4 million.
Collins Bus was 33rd at $1.2 million.
Below is the top 100 list with the assessed valuation of the company listed first and the taxes levied second.
