Lower state property taxes for homeowners
The law ends the state property tax levies that supported the Kansas educational and state institutions building funds. Your property tax bill no longer includes these state-level charges.
General fund replaces building fund levies
Beginning July 1, 2026, the state sends $56 million to the Kansas educational building fund. Starting July 1, 2027, that amount grows each year by the 10-year average change in statewide taxable value, not below zero. The property valuation director certifies that percent by February 1 each year. The state also sends $25 million to the state institutions building fund on July 1, 2026. Each year after 2026, that transfer rises by $500,000. All transfers come from the state general fund.
