WIC stands for "Women, Infants, and Children." It is government funding meant to stretch your money, get nutritious food for you and your family, and give your children a head start on good health.
When someone qualifies for WIC, they get vouchers that can be used at WIC grocery stores. Each voucher has certain kinds of foods that are needed for good health. WIC can provide:
Milk
Juice
Cheese
Dried Beans
Infant Formula
Eggs
Cereal
Peanut Butter
Infant Cereal
Carrots
Tuna
These foods are good sources of important nutrients such as protein, iron, calcium and vitamin C. WIC does not supply all the foods your family will need. The money you save by using WIC vouchers can be used to add even more healthy foods to your family meals.

Delinquent personal property tax collection becomes the responsibility of the sheriff each year when the Reno County treasurer publishes and delivers the Tax Warrants to the sheriff. While the sheriff maintains ultimate responsibility, he appoints a tax deputy to manage this program.
Reporting to the sergeant of civil process, the deputy is assisted by the civil process clerk. Responsibilities of the tax deputy include door-to-door tax collection, seizing property in lieu of cash, and arranging sales to satisfy tax debts. Generally, this collection begins in mid-to-late February and continues through September, ending on the first of October.
Collection involves only the current delinquent year. Periods outside the current delinquent year remain the responsibility of the Reno County Treasurer. Example: 2012 delinquent personal property taxes are collected between February and October 2013 by the Reno County Sheriff. The Reno County treasurer collects all other delinquent taxes during this time.
Vehicles (non-highway, salvage, trucks tagged 16m or higher, ect.), mobile homes not on a foundation, buildings (RV'S) on leased ground, boats, ATVs, golf carts, trailers, oil, and gas royalties; property not included on real estate tax rolls.
You can pay your delinquent tax by United States mail or visit the Reno County Courthouse: 206 W. First Hutchinson, KS 67501
Our Civil Process office is located on the second floor (mezzanine / balcony). We are open weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you mail your payment please include the tax warrant number so we can apply your payment to the correct person or business.
In most legal proceedings, the only legally acceptable evidence of title is that which is found in the public record as maintained in the office of the register of deeds. The individual's private interest in land is secure only if the public record is complete, properly managed, and accessible when needed.
It must be recognized, however, that the public record cannot help the property owner who fails to place the necessary papers in the record at the proper time. Documents must be recorded, filed, and indexed before they can serve their intended role.
No. Professional title examiners or abstractors use the records in our office, as well as searching records in other offices to determine if the title is good and clear.
A deed should be recorded as promptly after the transaction as possible. Failure to record a deed could render the transfer or mortgaging of the property impossible and create numerous legal difficulties. Although there is no time limit on recording deeds, it should be done as promptly as possible.
The easiest way to locate your deed or mortgage is to provide the register of deeds with the legal description of your property. If you do not know this, we can usually find this information for you by your address. The deed can then be copied for a fee of $1 per page. A certified copy can be made for $1 per page for the copy work and $1 per document for the certification.
The earliest records in the Register of Deeds Office, written in elaborate manuscript, date back to 1872. Among the early records are the Final Receipts and Patents Deeds recorded when land was bought from the United States Government that are signed by the president of the United States.
After indexing, putting data in the computer, proof-reading, and scanning, the documents are sorted and envelopes addressed and they are ready to be put in the mail the following day after the document is received.
Yes, you could, but the register of deeds and staff always recommend that you consult an attorney or title company. The Register of Deeds Office is a recording agency and therefore cannot make out deeds or answer those questions that pertain to legal matters.
There are a number of steps that are taken when a document is brought or mailed in to be recorded before it is mailed back to the concerned party. The document is first examined for obvious errors and recordability and the correct fee for recording is ascertained. Then the filing stamp is placed on the document that contains the time, date, and amount of filing fee.
If the document is a mortgage, a mortgage stamp is affixed giving the amount of indebtedness and the mortgage tax on that indebtedness. Then a book and page is placed on the document. It is then indexed in the proper land record and then the information is put in the computer. Each morning, the preceding day's recording is scanned for the permanent record.
The recording fees are set by law, which is now $8 for the first page plus $4 for each additional page. Before a mortgage is recorded, a mortgage registration fee of $.26 per $100 of indebtedness is required to be paid. A release or assignment of mortgage is $7 plus $2 each additional. Plats of new additions to the city or county are $20.
The primary evidence of ownership of land is not so much the deed itself as the recording of the deed. Once recorded, the original deed is returned to the new owner who usually deposits it in a safe place with his or her important papers. If the property is mortgaged at the time of sale, the original recorded deed is returned to the mortgage company who in turn gives it to the owner when the mortgage is satisfied.
If your deed is misplaced or lost, a copy may be obtained from the Register of Deeds Office and certified with its official stamp. The copy may then be kept among the buyer's personal records.
The deed is an instrument by which the buyer obtains title to the piece of property being sold. A deed comes in many forms. The most common source of passing title is called a warranty deed. The seller warrants that he has a good and clear title and guarantees that his predecessors have no interest in the title.
There is also a quit-claim deed. This is used to obtain a release from a person who is believed to have some interest in or claim to the property. By this form of deed, the grantor "quits" any claim he might have.
Many times the owner of property may owe money to various creditors. The lien allows the creditors a means of preventing the property from being either sold or mortgaged until the debt is paid.
There are many types of liens filed in the Register of Deeds Office: Internal Revenue and State Tax liens (for non-payment of taxes), and mechanics liens (for labor and material furnished in repair of personal property). However, a mechanic lien on real estate is filed with the clerk of the district court.
The Register of Deeds Office is a place where all transactions having to do with land (including most liens and mortgages) are recorded and maintained so that the public is made aware of their existence. This is also a place where financing statements and security agreements are filed on personal property under the Uniform Commercial Code.
The Uniform Commercial Code, more commonly known as UCC, became effective in Kansas in 1966. As the name implies, it is a code developed for uniform filing on personal property throughout the United States. Like all uniform attempts, fees, and other things are different, but the basic concepts of security regulations are more uniform.
The filing of a UCC is what perfects or secures the loan on consumer goods or personal property. The filing fee is $15 for the first 10 pages and $1 for each additional page.
Besides deeds, mortgages, and liens, there are oil and gas leases and other documents having to do with these leases, plats of additions, and subdivisions to the cities of Reno County, easements, restrictive covenants, county school records, military discharges, powers of attorney, corporate records, releases and assignments, and many other miscellaneous documents.
The office staff of the Register of Deeds Office will be more than happy to answer whatever questions you may have. It is better if you personally visit the office. However, if you cannot do that, you may obtain certain information over the phone. Since there are certain kinds of information that can only be answered by an attorney, it would not be feasible to have the information given to you by one who is not an attorney.
Basically, the Register of Deeds Office is a recording agency only, and therefore the information it gives out is limited to that which is contained in the records. If you wish to call, the number is 620-694-2942.
The Register of Deeds Office is open to the general public during the hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
The registrar of deeds is an elected official for a four-year term who makes certain that the documents are recorded properly according to the laws of the state and maintains and preserves those records.
The Register of Deeds Office is administered by a person called the registrar of deeds, who in turn has a chief deputy and a staff of persons that perform various duties.
An entrance application and entrance policy are located under the Public Works Department > Permits & Applications or contact the Public Works Department at 620-694-2976.

Head lice are very small bugs called parasites that can infest the hair on the human head. Head lice are spread through direct contact with anyone who has head lice or by indirect contact such as the sharing of personal items contaminated with lice or their eggs. View head lice information online.
The symptoms of head lice are itching of the head and the back of the neck, possible swelling in the lymph glands of the neck and/or in the armpit area, and in more severe cases, muscle aches or fever may occur. Upon observation, oval shaped white, gray, or light brown colored nits may be seen attached to the individual hairs close to the hair shaft. There should be no confusing them with dandruff since they cannot be easily removed. There may be scratch marks or open sores seen on the scalp.
The actual lice are very tiny and may be seen as black or rust colored dots that cling to the base of the hairs. Use of a magnifying glass makes them easier to see.

After the sale, the following events occur prior to the issuance of a Sheriff's Deed:
After the sale, the attorney of record with the clerk of the district court files a Return of Service on the Order of Sale.
The clerk of the district court will give a receipt to the winning bidder.
An order confirming the sale will be generated, usually by the plaintiff's attorney and signed by a judge. The orders may contain a redemption period that is generally 90 days in length (although longer and shorter periods of time may be specified by the court). Redemption rights can also be extinguished altogether upon order of the court.
Following the receipt of the order confirming the sale, the sheriff's office will sign a Certificate of Purchase, which states the name, the length of the redemption period (if any), and the amount bid by the winning bidder. These documents will be sent to the plaintiff's attorney unless the winning bidder is a third party, in which case the Certificate of Purchase will be given directly to them.
At the end of the redemption period, the attorney of record will send the deed to the Reno County Sheriff's Office or the individual.
