Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Kansas school property tax continues
Kansas school districts must continue the 20-mill property tax for school years 2025–2026 and 2026–2027. Owners of property subject to this tax pay $20 per $1,000 of assessed value, not market value. This continues the rate rather than raising it. Proceeds go to the state school district finance fund. However, designated proceeds for redevelopment districts created before July 1, 1997, remain reserved for bond principal and interest.
Earlier tax statements and clearer notices
County treasurers must mail property tax statements and information forms before December 1, instead of before December 15. Revenue neutral rate hearing notices must show tax rates in mills, including the rate used to estimate proposed taxes. They must also total the required tax columns. Notices must compare last year's property-tax revenue with proposed current-year revenue, showing both dollar and percentage changes. Proposed-tax comparisons replace maximum-tax comparisons. These changes provide earlier statements and more detail without themselves changing the tax owed.
No repeat fee during pending appeals
The Board of Tax Appeals cannot charge another filing fee for the same parcel while a previous-year appeal remains pending. The earlier appeal must still be pending when the taxpayer files the new appeal. The law does not state the fee amount.
Counties get extended tax notice reimbursements
County clerks can receive reimbursement for qualifying property-tax notice printing and postage costs in calendar years 2025 and 2026. Clerks must notify the Kansas Secretary of Revenue and document the costs. Payments come from the taxpayer notification costs fund, which receives state general fund transfers. The law does not specify a reimbursement amount.
Later local tax deadline, stricter fallback
Local taxing bodies must certify planned property taxes to the county clerk by October 1, instead of August 25. If required budget information is not presented or electronically filed by 5:00 p.m. October 1, a fallback applies. The clerk must initially use the previous year's budget information and property-tax amount. The clerk then reduces the tax amount and calculates final rates using final equalized assessed values. These rules do not guarantee that a household's tax bill stays the same.
