KDOR seizes assets in execution of Russell, Scott, Thomas, Phillips, Rooks, Pawnee tax warrants

Agents from the Kansas Department of Revenue (KDOR) accompanied by the Russell, Scott, Thomas, Phillips, Rooks, Pawnee County Sheriff departments on the 8th day, of July 2025 executed tax warrants and seized the assets six people totaling $301,031.29.

The warrants were filed in Russell County, Scott, Thomas, Phillips, Rooks, Pawnee. The assets were seized at 900am at 740 E Wichita Ave Russell, Ks 67665, 1921 S Range Colby, Ks 67701, 1213 S Main St Scott City, Ks 67871, 609 3rd Street Phillipsburg, Ks 67661, 711 S Washington Plainville, Ks 67663, 421 W 14th St Larned, Ks 67550 Ks.

The types of assets seized include all known bank accounts, on-site cash, business inventory, as well as personal property belonging to the owner. The business was sealed closed with a public notice posted on the outside. All seized assets will be sold at public auction, and the proceeds will pay for the delinquent taxes.

KDOR’s policy and practice is to work with taxpayers in delinquent status to voluntarily enter into repayment agreements. It is only after these efforts and multiple failed collection attempts that the Department is forced to execute a tax warrant, utilizing such actions as bank levies, till taps, and ultimately asset seizure to ensure compliance with the law.

KDOR’s responsibility to recover delinquent taxes not only ensures fairness for individuals and business owners who do pay their taxes but also ensures that money is lawfully collected to fund state and local programs on which Kansans depend. These programs include education, highways, public safety, and human services.

Customers, employees or others that may have items at the business may contact the agent assigned to this case at 316-337-6130.
