Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by Plaintiffs-appellants brought this action pursuant to K.S.A.
79-2005 to recover ad valorem taxes for the year 1965 paid under
protest on ten oil and gas leases. After a trial in district
court, resulting in an adverse decision, plaintiffs perfected
this appeal. The leases in question were rendered for taxes as of January 1,
1965. In April 1965 the leases were assessed for ad valorem
purposes by the county clerk-assessor at a total of $669,515.00.
Plaintiffs appealed to the Haskell County Board of Equalization
which sustained the assessments. An appeal was taken to the State
Board of Equalization which reduced the assessment approximately
six percent to $629,200.00 on which the taxes in question were
levied. On December 9, 1965, plaintiffs paid the taxes amounting
to $27,087.07, protesting $23,268.32 and claiming $3,818.75 to be
the correct amount due for 1965. Plaintiffs alleged the protested
portion was illegal due to an excessive valuation. There is no
controversy concerning the form or filing of the protests.
