Bill > HB2125

This bill makes several modifications to property tax procedures and deadlines in Kansas. It changes the deadline for governing bodies to certify property tax amounts to the county clerk from August 25 to October 1, and adjusts the deadline for county treasurers to mail tax statements from December 15 to December 1. The bill provides that if a taxing subdivision fails to submit its budget information by October 1, the county clerk will use the previous year's budget information. For school districts, the bill extends the 20-mill statewide property tax levy for schools through the 2026-2027 school year. The legislation also modifies the content requirements for revenue neutral rate hearing notices, requiring more detailed information about proposed tax increases, and extends reimbursement from the taxpayer notification costs fund for county clerk printing and postage costs through calendar year 2026. Additionally, the bill prohibits filing fees for tax appeals when a previous appeal remains pending and makes several technical amendments to existing property tax statutes. These changes aim to provide more transparency in the property tax process and streamline administrative procedures for local governments.
