Wichita Century II

Be careful when buying a condo or apartment in District 1 downtown in the SSMID area (Shepard). There could be an hidden extra tax in the property taxes for the condo you want to buy.

Hidden? Yep, and you will not learn about it from your Title Insurance company, or your realtor. It's your responsibility to find out about it. Looking up the taxes for a condo on the Sedgwick County Property Tax website does not always show the SSMID tax rate - the tax rate could bundled into one tax rate! (see first photo were the tax rate is shown as 122.809000).

Commercial property owners see the tax in complete detail by tax authority (see second photo listing the tax rates for 8 categories, including self supporting municipal improvement district at 10 mills). But not all residential condo owners get this kind of detail. Why? And why no consistency?

Wichita Area Sister Cities had a magnificent alibreje (paper mache artform). The first time in many years WASC had a ‘float’. Wichita River Festival is on!

Wichita River Festival Sundown Parade starts at 6:30 pm.
Wichita Area Sister Cities will be represented.🇫🇷🇺🇸

Freedom comes at a price. And only those that have served understand the price. Never forget.
