Estimated tax notice information

Body
In March 2021, the Kansas Legislature passed K.S.A. 79-2988, which requires Kansas County Clerks to send taxpayers notification of the revenue neutral rate (RNR) compared to the proposed rate for each taxing subdivisions. Taxing subdivisions are prohibited from levying an ad valorem property tax that exceeds the RNR. Therefore this August, an estimated tax notice was mailed out by the county clerk to all county property owners with information about property tax revenue and an estimated tax notice on behalf of all of their taxing subdivisions.
