Kansas Senate passes 3% property tax cap; House must approve for voter referendum.
The Kansas Senate passed a constitutional amendment to cap property tax increases at 3% annually, aiming to protect homeowners from rising costs.
The measure now needs two-thirds approval in the House before going to voters.
Meanwhile, residential property owners now pay 57% of all property taxes, up from 38% in 1997, due to rising home values and long-standing commercial tax exemptions.
Home values nearly doubled from 2016 to 2024, while commercial assessments lagged, shifting the tax burden to homeowners.
The House also approved amendments allowing local voters to approve property tax hikes over 3%, increasing public control over local spending.
