The single most important action awaiting the Kansas State Legislature in 2025, is reducing the high assessment of property taxes.
Currently the tax rates are unfairly burdening home owners, especially those who are retire, seniors, and low income families. Homeowners are struggling to meet the continual increases each year due to inflation and "like sales" assessments. The Kansas Governor has stated on the record that she will not accept any new cuts in 2025 despite the state having an increasing amount of excess revenue in the bank. Calls for sending some of this money back to tax payers has fallen on deaf ears in the executive branch. Rep. Johnson and the House Republicans have announced that property tax relief is the single most important legislative action in the spring of 2025. Work has already begun to draft legislation that will provide this tax relief to the citizens. Let us know what you think so we can work to achieve this critical goal of tax reduction. |
