EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: HEADLINE FINDINGS

·        Stormont Vail holds a quarter-billion dollars of Shawnee County real estate, and almost none of it pays property tax. The county lists 89 parcels titled to Stormont (106.4 GIS acres) with a 2026 appraised value of $247,766,790. $245,217,920 (99.0%) is classed Exempt. Only $2,548,870 (1.0%) is taxable, and most of that is vacant lots.

·        For 2025, the whole portfolio was billed $69,276.80 in general property tax. Not one Stormont parcel appraised above $404,100 was billed a dime of general property tax: the main hospital, the 2660 SW 3rd St campus, Capitol Tower and the rest of the 34 most valuable parcels were all billed $0. The 24 taxable parcels are 19 vacant lots, three small medical-office parcels, one parking lot and one office condo unit, together appraised at $2.55M. Add $91,876.50 in city special assessments and the 2025 total is $161,153.30. Every bill shows paid, $0 due.

·        Capitol Tower is the sharpest example. The 7-story, 143,934 sq ft office building across from the Statehouse was billed $528,333 to $539,770 every year from 2016 through 2023: $4,257,422 over eight years. Stormont completed its purchase in early 2024 (deed recorded 01/31/2024) and said the building would hold administrative and support staff, with no plans for clinical services (WIBW, 02/01/2024). Its 2025 bill: $0.

·        The same 89 parcels were billed $668,233 in general tax for 2023 and $69,277 for 2025, a drop of 90%. Capitol Tower accounts for most of it. Fourteen parcels in the portfolio that used to carry a tax bill now carry none.

·        What the exemptions are worth (estimate). Applying the county's own 2025 mill levies to the 2025 appraised value of Stormont's exempt parcels gives $4,393,018 a year at the 12% not-for-profit assessment rate, or $9,152,122 a year at the 25% commercial rate Capitol Tower used to pay. The commercial scenario equals 2.5% of the county's entire 2025 taxable value. Method in section 3b.

·        Stormont is a $1.24 billion-a-year operation. Its most recent Form 990 (fiscal year ended Sept. 2025) reports $1,240,351,230 in revenue, $137,479,469 in net income and $1,006,201,368 in net assets. Its 2025 county tax bill was 0.013% of that revenue.

·        The exemptions are allowed by Kansas law. K.S.A. 79-201b exempts property "actually and regularly used exclusively for hospital purposes" by a nonprofit hospital. This dossier does not allege any exemption was improperly granted. The exemption orders and Board of Tax Appeals dockets that would show the basis for each one are not public.

2. CASE STUDY: CAPITOL TOWER, 400 SW 8TH AVE

From a $530,000-a-year taxpayer to $0

Capitol Tower was billed $528,333 to $539,770 in general property tax every year from 2016 through 2023 as a privately owned office building: $4,257,422 over eight years, an average of $532,178 a year.

Stormont announced it had completed the purchase on Feb. 1, 2024. Its deed (instrument 2024R01379) was recorded 01/31/2024. Stormont said the building would house administrative and support services and that "there are no plans to offer clinical services in the facility" (WIBW, 02/01/2024).

2024 bill: $38,744.52. 2025 bill: $0. The county now classes the full $12,661,200 appraisal as Exempt.

 

Owner of record

STORMONT-VAIL HEALTHCARE INC (QuickRef R26180; Parcel ID 1093103001003000; tax unit 1; 2025 mill levy 151.174)

Location

Northwest corner of SW 8th Ave and Harrison St, across the street from the Kansas State Capitol. County neighborhood: Downtown Square.

Appraised value

2023: $14,428,100 • 2024: $12,661,200 • 2025: $12,661,200 • 2026: $12,661,200 (Exempt: land $478,590 + improvements $12,182,610)

Stated use

Administrative and support services for Stormont Vail Health; support staff to move in by phases during 2024; no clinical services planned (WIBW, 02/01/2024). Current actual use was not inspected for this dossier.

·        Estimate, not a county figure. Method: the county's own appraised value for each year × the 25% commercial assessment rate (the rate Capitol Tower was taxed at: 2023 check, $14,428,100 × 25% × 149.644 mills = $539,769.80, matching the bill to the penny) × that year's tax-unit 1 mill levy.

·        Why 2024 was $38,744.52. That bill equals the full-year 2024 tax prorated to 30 days (2024 assessed value $260,163 ÷ full $3,165,300 = 30/365). That is consistent with the property being taxed through January 30, 2024 and exempt after Stormont's 01/31/2024 deed. This is our arithmetic; the county page does not state a proration. The 2024 bill may have been paid by the prior owner (tax pages show current owner only).

·        Future years. If values and levies hold near 2025 levels, each additional year of exemption is roughly $480,000 that the building does not contribute (same method; estimate).

3. TAX IMPACT ANALYSIS

3a. The tax base is shrinking: the same 89 parcels, ten years of bills (chart on page 1)

General tax billed on today's Stormont parcels fell from $785,920 (2016) and $668,233 (2023) to $69,277 (2025). The gradual decline before 2024 reflects individual parcels dropping off the rolls (table below). The cliff in 2024–2025 is Capitol Tower. Fourteen parcels have a tax bill in at least one year since 2016 and none for 2025:

Total of last full-year bills

"Last full-year bill" is the parcel's bill in the last year before its taxes fell away (years differ, so the total is not a single-year figure). 2016 is the earliest year on the county page, so for parcels whose last full year shows 2016 the history may start earlier. The tax pages show current owner only, so some of these bills were paid by prior owners. "Latest instrument" is the most recent recorded document, not necessarily Stormont's purchase. 1615 SW 8th Ave was billed only in 2019; the record does not explain why.

3b. What the exemptions are worth each year (estimate)

The county does not publish a "tax that would have been paid" figure for exempt property. We computed one transparently from the county's own numbers:

Value base

2025 appraised value of the 59 Stormont-titled parcels the county classes Exempt: $243,006,710 (from each parcel's 2025 ARES tax record; 2026 value is $245,217,920). Affiliates excluded.

Assessment rate

Scenario A: 12%, the Kansas rate for property owned and operated by not-for-profit organizations that is not exempt. Scenario B: 25%, the commercial rate, the class Capitol Tower was taxed in through 2023. Rates from the county's published assessment-rate table.

Mill levy

Each parcel's own 2025 total levy: 151.174 mills in tax unit 1 (55 exempt parcels, incl. the main campus), 162.254 (unit 14), 132.384 (unit 301, 4505 NW Fielding Rd), 150.021 (unit 619, 2902 SW Asbury Dr).

Formula

Σ (2025 appraised × assessment rate × mill levy ÷ 1,000) across the exempt parcels.

3c. What it means for everyone else on the tax rolls

·        Local governments set budgets first, then levy enough mills on the taxable base to fund them. Exempt property is not in that base, so the levy is spread over everyone else. If Stormont's exempt property had been on the rolls under Scenario B and the same budgets were adopted, the countywide base would have been 2.5% larger and mill levies about 2.5% lower (Scenario A: 1.2%).

·        In plain terms: for every $1,000 of property tax a Shawnee County owner pays, roughly $25 (Scenario B) or $12 (Scenario A) is attributable to Stormont's exempt property sitting outside the base. A homeowner paying $3,000 a year carries roughly $74 (B) or $36 (A) of that shift.

·        This is conservative for Topeka residents. 55 of the exempt parcels, including the main campus, sit in tax unit 1 (City of Topeka, USD 501). The city and school district bases are smaller than the county's, so the shift on those levies is larger than the countywide figure. We did not compute entity-by-entity shifts because entity tax bases were not pulled.

Unit-1 exempt parcels: 2025 appraised $220,549,130 × 25% × 151.174 mills = $8,335,324. Split by each entity's share of the 2024 unit-1 levy, the latest year itemized on the county page. Estimate.

3d. Read this before quoting the estimate

·        It is not a bill and not a claim that tax is owed. The county grants these exemptions under state law. The estimate shows the size of the benefit, not a violation.

·        Values would change if property were taxable. Exempt property gets less appraisal scrutiny and owners of taxable property appeal. Real taxable values could be higher or lower than the exempt appraisals used here.

·        Budgets are not fixed. The levy-shift figures assume governments adopt the same budgets. TIF districts, abatements and the statewide school levy rules are not modeled.

·        Community benefit is not weighed here. Stormont's Form 990 Schedule H reports charity care and community benefit that supporters cite as the reason for the exemption. Those figures were not reviewed for this dossier and should be put next to these estimates in any public argument.

·        What Stormont does pay: 2025 general tax of $69,276.80 on its 24 taxable parcels, $91,876.50 in city special assessments (including $71,711.56 on exempt or $0 parcels), and $56,318.36 through Urish Medical Plaza LLC. All paid, $0 due.

3e. Every parcel billed in 2025 (27 parcels)

2024 column is for these 27 parcels only. The all-parcel 2024 total of $256,332.71 also includes Capitol Tower ($38,744.52) and 512 SW 8th Ave ($2,353.46 general + $863.15 specials), both exempt for 2025. Stormont-titled 2024 total: $202,298.91 ($109,559.26 general + $92,739.65 specials). Specials: 2660 SW 3rd St $43,416.14 (paving $28,295.42, sewer $8,815.45, water main $6,305.27); 2601 SW 3rd St master $28,295.42 paving (same amount as the 2660 SW 3rd paving line; possible double listing, confirm with Treasurer); SW Kanza Dr $13,043.28; SW 3rd St $7,121.66.

* Affiliates. Stormont-titled subtotal (rows 1–89): 2026 appraised $247,766,790; 2025 tax $161,153.30; 2024 tax $202,298.91; 106.407 GIS acres. Specials detail and deed book/page for each parcel are in stormont_parcels.csv.


4. GAPS, CAVEATS AND DATA NOTES

The 11 parcels at $0 value

·        Condo masters: 2601 SW 3rd St (R316796), value carried on units R325441–R325443 (R325443 is taxable); 823 SW Mulvane St (R13134), value on units R325444–R325452 (R325449 is taxable). R316796 still carries $28,295.42 in paving specials.

·        Probably merged with neighbors (inferred from shared deed instruments; the county record does not say so): 1713, 1811 and 1815 SW 8th Ave (R13130, R13135, R13136) and 945 SW College Ave (R13379), instruments 2015R00197A–D, same series as the 823 SW Mulvane master; 1612 SW 6th Ave (R12622), taxed $1,052–$1,560 a year 2016–2019 and $0 since 2020, same instrument as 515 SW Horne St (2017R19071); 900 SW College Ave (R13388), instrument 5062-107A paired with 909 SW Mulvane St (5062-107).

·        No public explanation: 920 SW Lane St (R14151), 921 SW Garfield Ave (R13405), 923 SW Garfield Ave (R13404). The Appraiser's office would need to say which parcel carries their value.

Caveats

·        Tax pages show the current owner only, not who paid. Some bills were likely paid by prior owners because Stormont's deeds were recorded later: 2025 tax on SE 30th Ter (deed 2026R14749, 09/04/2026); 2024 tax on 400 SW 8th Ave and 512 SW 8th Ave; possibly 1410 SW 10th Ave (latest instrument 2026R12347, 07/31/2026, which may not be Stormont's purchase).

·        "Latest instrument" is the most recent recorded document ARES lists, not necessarily the date Stormont acquired the parcel.

·        GIS acres are polygon area; condo-unit polygons repeat their building footprint (hence the 106.41 vs. 101.72 acre figures).

·        Paid status comes from the ARES balance fields. Individual receipts and payment dates were not opened.

·        All dollar estimates in sections 2 and 3 are labeled as estimates and use the method shown. They are not county figures.

·        Exemption status is the county's value-by-class line. Exemption order numbers and BOTA docket dates are not posted publicly, so the legal basis for each exemption, including Capitol Tower's, was not verified.

Gaps (what this dossier could not get)

·        Register of Deeds: online search runs through Tapestry / LandRecords.com (pay per search); not used. No deed images, grantors or sale prices. Kansas is a non-disclosure state for sale prices.

·        Kansas Secretary of State business search returned HTTP 403 and timed out; affiliate registration status is unverified.

·        Exemption orders / BOTA dockets: not public online. A records request to the County Appraiser or BOTA would close this.

·        Leased locations: clinics Stormont leases in others' buildings do not appear in an owner search.

·        Other counties: out of scope, including the Emporia site at 1700 Road G.

·        Personal property: equipment and other personal property exemptions were not examined; this dossier covers real property only.

·        Form 990 Schedule H (community benefit, charity care): not reviewed.

·        Entity tax bases (City of Topeka, USD 501) were not pulled, so the levy-shift estimate is countywide only.

Data checks and discrepancies found while preparing this dossier

·        Teammate headline numbers verified. 89 Stormont + 2 affiliates; $247,766,790 appraised; $245,217,920 exempt; $161,153.30 in 2025 taxes on Stormont-titled parcels: all match the CSV. Every 2025 and 2024 general-tax figure in the CSV matched the live ARES tax pages re-pulled 10/27/2026 (91 of 91).

·        "About $530K a year" for Capitol Tower is confirmed and slightly understated: the county shows $528,333–$539,770 a year for 2016–2023 (average $532,178); the last full year (2023) was $539,769.80.

·        Correction to the prior Word report: its key-figures table labels Stormont's 2024 general tax of $109,559.26 as "24 currently taxable Stormont parcels." That figure includes Capitol Tower ($38,744.52) and 512 SW 8th Ave ($2,353.46). The 24 currently taxable parcels were billed $68,461.28 in 2024 general tax.

·        Neighborhood counts: notes.md says "others 1 each," but the SW 6th-Huntoon, Topeka-Washburn neighborhood has 2 Stormont parcels (1321 SW 11th St, 634 SW Washburn Ave). Counts including affiliates: Hospital Square 64, Westridge Mall Area 4.

·        Specials: of the $91,876.50 Stormont specials, $71,711.56 sit on exempt or $0 parcels and $20,164.94 on taxable vacant land (SW Kanza Dr, SW 3rd St). The $28,295.42 paving line may be listed twice (2601 and 2660 SW 3rd St); if so, true 2025 specials would be $63,581.08 and the Stormont 2025 total $132,857.88.

·        Data date: the CSV was pulled 10/26/2026; the county pages re-checked for this dossier show "last updated 10/27/2026" with no changes in any tax figure.
