Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

3 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Kansas homeowners pay less state property tax

The law ends two Kansas state property taxes after 2025: 1 mill for educational buildings and 0.5 mill for institutional buildings. Both still apply in 2025 to taxable tangible property. Beginning in 2026, owners save $1.50 each year for every $1,000 of taxable assessed value. These savings use assessed value, not the property's market price.

State funding supports Kansas institutional buildings

Kansas transfers $25 million from its general fund to the state institutions building fund on July 1, 2026. The transfer can occur later when money is available. The fund supports building projects at state institutions, including mental health, disability, juvenile justice, and veterans facilities. Each July 1 starting in 2027, the annual transfer increases by $500,000 over the previous year's amount. That increase equals 2% of the original $25 million, not 2% of each year's transfer.

State funding supports Kansas college buildings

Kansas transfers $56 million from its general fund to the Kansas educational building fund on July 1, 2026. The transfer can occur later when money is available. This money supports building projects at state institutions under the Kansas Board of Regents. Each July 1 starting in 2027, transfers increase using the prior amount and the preceding 10-year average change in statewide taxable property values; negative averages count as zero. The Director of Property Valuation must certify the percentage and transfer amount by February 1 each year.
