JUNE UPDATE

Everyone can take a short breather after the completion of certification but it is time to be thinking and preparing for the work ahead for the 2024 valuation. Here's some things we have in the works:

• Preliminary work on NBHD Analysis and Profiles is well underway. We have added some additional information and standardized the profiles. We will be working with those of you who have changes to complete as soon as possible. Many will be completed in early July , while some may have other requirements but be completed no later than early August.
• A re-vamp of the small tract land analysis is completed and we will begin processing new sales data in the next few days. Due to PVD compliance issues, This process has become extremely complicated and we have added fields to clarify.
  
• We intend to provide more training opportunities this year. While we may do some "in-Person" we will be using online options. Our goal is to provide some base training in the following areas:
  • RESIDENTIAL GRADE & CDU
  • SALES FILE PROCESSING DO'S AND DON'TS
  • COMMERCIAL DATA COLLECTION - (PROFILES AND A BASE GUIDE)
• In the next few days, we will  distribute a data profile of Wal Mart stores in Kansas. While I realize that many of you do not have these stores in your county, we will be sharing this with a few other counties as well. As time allows, we plan to produce more profiles or listing reviews that we will share and make available on our website.
• KANSAS ANALYTICS -  We have provided instructions to sign on to KA but a few of you have not taken advantage of this. KA is still a work in progress but is a very useful tool in reviewing Grades/CDU and general data in a comparative manner. It 's use in hearings and final review will be exceptional if you take the time to learn how to use it.  We will individually or in an online setting, provide additional instruction as needed
