AI Summary

This joint resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to modify property tax valuation rules in Kansas, focusing on residential real estate, commercial and industrial properties, and mobile homes. The amendment would change how property values are calculated for tax purposes, using the lesser of the fair market value or the average fair market value for specific property classes. If approved, the change would take effect on January 1, 2026/2027, and would allow the legislature to establish the number of years used to determine the average fair market value. The resolution authorizes the legislature to create valuation adjustments for scenarios like new construction, changes in property use, or corrections to property listings. The proposed amendment would be submitted to Kansas voters at a special election on November 4, 2025, in conjunction with the general election. To become effective, the resolution requires approval by two-thirds of both the Senate and House of Representatives, after which it will be published and placed on the ballot for voter consideration. The ballot will include an explanatory statement to help voters understand the proposed changes to property tax valuation methods.
