KCC §5A-2.3

Small mistakes won't cancel a property tax bill

This section says that minor errors in the property tax process won't make your tax bill invalid. It also says that if the county published the required notice, a wrong or missing owner name won't cancel the tax. Even if the county missed a deadline, the tax still stands.
