Thank you, Mr. McClure, for your email and your work on property taxes.
The Senate will be considering several pieces of legislation regarding property taxes and improving the process. One of the first items to be considered is a resolution to limit taxable value increases each year. Similar language passed the senate in 2023. The hearing will be Jan 16, 2025, in case you or others would like to testify. Sample language can be found at https://www.kslegislature.gov/li_2024s/b2023_24/measures/scr1604/
Sincerely,
Caryn Tyson

Subject: Fair Plan
Homestead Tax Act of 2025
Henceforth, property taxes will be calculated based on the purchase price for the duration of ownership. Actual market value is determined by what a willing seller accepts and what a willing buyer pays. Additionally, homeowners aged 65 and older will benefit from a significant tax reduction, with the assessed value of their primary residence reduced to 10%.
Benefits to all Kansans
Taxation at real values in real-time will attract people to Kansas by ensuring fairness and financial relief for senior citizens, allowing them to remain in their homes without excessive tax burdens. This policy prevents individuals from being taxed out of their homes, promoting stability. It compels the government to align with real estate realities, eliminating phantom evaluations and inflated values. By fostering transparency, it ensures equitable taxation and encourages sustainable community growth.
