Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill changes the rules for property tax refunds for homeowners in Kansas. Currently, if a home's value goes over $350,000, the owner can lose their tax refund. This bill would allow homeowners who previously qualified for a tax refund or credit to keep receiving it even if their home's value later exceeds $350,000. This change would apply starting in the 2026 tax year.
