The Kansas Office of the State Bank Commissioner clarifies that county tax assessment information may be used as part of an evaluation for real estate loans between $25,000 and $500,000. Officers or directors must exercise due diligence by reviewing the tax data's validity and providing a written reconciliation based on market, cost, or income approaches. The evaluation must also include a legal property description, owner details, improvement conditions, basis for value, and be signed by the independent evaluator.
