Appraiser clarifies annexation issues
Douglas County Appraiser Marion Johnson said property taxes are based on fair market value and not simply on whether a property lies inside or outside the city. Zoning and access to city services can raise appeal to buyers and indirectly lift value, especially if rezoning enables commercial development. Johnson spoke at the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission, which noted annexations require property owner consent.
