Bill > SB190

This bill modifies Kansas law regarding the partial redemption of homestead properties with delinquent property taxes by clarifying that property owners do not need to pay special assessments for years other than the year being redeemed when attempting to partially redeem their property. Specifically, the bill amends an existing statute that governs tax sales of real estate by counties, making it easier for homeowners to reclaim properties that have been sold due to unpaid taxes. Under the current law, property owners must pay all outstanding taxes and special assessments to redeem a property, but this bill allows homeowners to make partial payments for specific tax years without being required to settle special assessments from other years. The change applies to homestead properties and other real estate held by counties for up to three years after a tax sale, providing property owners with more flexibility in resolving tax delinquencies. The bill will take effect upon publication in the Kansas statute book and represents a consumer-friendly modification to property tax redemption procedures.
